The C sits in a strikingly small group at this length: the E-second-letter list has 1,611 entries, compared with 170 here. Familiar choices include ACCOUNTABILITY, ACCOMPLISHMENT, and ACCOMMODATIONS. Many other matches are technical or uncommon, so a fixed second letter narrows the search quickly but does not guarantee an everyday word.

What stands out in this 14-letter set?

The list contains 170 entries with C in position two.
Only 6 entries fall among the most common English words.
SCHIZOPHYCEOUS leads the tile-score ranking at 38 points.
A total of 113 entries have a definition.
S is the most frequent first letter, appearing in 82 words.

How many 14-letter words with C as the 2nd letter are familiar?

A-C openings supply several recognizable matches: ACCOUNTABILITY, ACCOMPLISHMENT, ACCOMMODATIONS, and ACCOMPANIMENTS. Their shared start makes them easy to spot when you know the second letter, though their endings differ.

Other visible clusters include E-C words such as ECCLESIASTICAL and ECCENTRICITIES, and S-C words such as SCHOOLCHILDREN and SCHOOLTEACHERS. S begins 82 entries, while 113 end in S; those are separate counts, not a claim that the same words satisfy both patterns.

Length changes the count fast: 13-letter words with C second number 273, and the 15-letter list holds 105, while the D-second list at this length has just 50. C sits mid-pack among second letters, so the same scanning approach pays off at nearby lengths too.

Which entries score highest?

SCHIZOPHYCEOUS tops the scoring list at 38 points. SCHIZOPHRENICS and SCHIZOMYCETOUS each score 35, alongside ECTOMYCORRHIZA. These are specialist words rather than dependable everyday plays, so check your game's word list before building a move around one.

The count also varies sharply by the letter in position two: E has 1,611 matches, while C has 170 and Z has just 1. That makes C a narrow pattern to search, not a shortcut to common vocabulary. For a broader set of usable options, compare other second-letter lists or browse the full 14-letter collection.
