This set leans heavily toward technical and descriptive vocabulary: socioeconomic and hydroelectric are familiar examples, while many entries name academic fields or specialized traits. Only 5 of the 443 words fall among the most common English vocabulary. That makes the ending a strong fit for a constrained word list, but a less natural choice when you need an everyday word.

The C-ending set at a glance

The tournament-dictionary list contains 443 words with 13 letters and a final C.
Only 5 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
The most common first letter is P, with 78 entries; H follows with 43.
Schizomycetic leads the score rankings at 36 points.
Socioeconomic, philanthropic, and transatlantic are recognizable examples.

Which 13-letter words ending in C score highest?

Schizomycetic tops the scoring list at 36, ahead of schizophrenic at 34 and xerophthalmic at 32. Psychodynamic, psychographic, hyperglycemic, and hypoglycaemic each score 31, so several science-heavy terms cluster near the top.

The high scorers reveal a useful pattern: uncommon letters and specialized vocabulary drive the biggest totals. For a more recognizable play, socioeconomic and hydroelectric stand out in the examples, but they do not lead the score ranking. Check the word list for your game before committing to an unfamiliar entry.

When is a 13-letter C ending a good fit?

A fixed final C narrows a long rack or crossword pattern, and the broad range of first letters gives you several ways to search. P begins 78 entries, while H begins 43; the remaining examples also include starts such as S, A, and M.

For 13-letter words ending in C, expect a specialist vocabulary rather than a bank of everyday answers: only 5 entries count as common words. The list has 374 defined entries, but that does not make every candidate familiar or accepted in every game. For a nearby comparison, 13-letter words ending in S are far more numerous, while the C-ending count rises to 729 at 12 letters.

Questions people ask

How many 13-letter words end in C?

There are 443 13-letter words ending in C in the tournament-dictionary set. Examples include socioeconomic, philanthropic, and electrostatic. The list spans both recognizable descriptive words and highly specialized vocabulary, so a matching length and final letter do not guarantee that an entry will be familiar.

What is the highest-scoring 13-letter word ending in C?

Schizomycetic is the highest-scoring entry at 36 points. Schizophrenic follows at 34, then xerophthalmic at 32. Scores depend on the game and board, so treat these as word-value comparisons rather than a guaranteed final score for a particular play.

Are many 13-letter words ending in C common?

No: only 5 of the 443 entries count as common words. Socioeconomic and philanthropic are more recognizable examples, while many high-scoring options, including schizomycetic and xerophthalmic, are specialized. For a playable word, verify the entry in your game's dictionary.
