5-letter words with C as the 1st letter and E as the 4th letter

With C fixed in position one and E in position four, the remaining pattern is C _ _ E _. The 156 matches range from familiar choices such as COMES, COVER, and CHEER to less everyday entries like COZEY and CIMEX. That mix matters in a word game: a candidate can fit every revealed square yet still depend on which dictionary your game accepts.

How many 5-letter words have C first and E fourth?

• The pattern has 156 tournament-dictionary matches, with C fixed first and E fixed fourth.
• Only 39 entries rank among words in the common-frequency group, so many matches are less familiar.
• COMES, COVER, and CHEER are recognizable examples in this group.
• All 25 matching raw Wordle answers also appear in a tournament dictionary.
• S is the most common final letter: 45 words end in S, compared with 33 ending in D.

Which C _ _ E _ words suit Wordle?

Twenty-five entries in this pattern are Wordle answers, and all 25 also occur in at least one tournament dictionary. The full set has 156 allowed guesses, so the guess pool is broader than the answer pool; a legal guess is not automatically a likely solution.

For testing the pattern, try familiar forms such as COMES, COVER, CASES, and CARES. Each puts E fourth, but only 39 matches count as common words, so a familiar-looking option is not a reliable guide to the full answer set.

What scores highest among C-first, E-fourth words?

COZEY leads the Scrabble scores at 19 points; COZED scores 17, while COZEN and CIMEX score 16 each. COZEY is a less familiar play, so knowing its score does not guarantee your game accepts it.

Dictionary choice changes the count: Collins includes 154 matches, NWL2023 has 136, and ENABLE has 132, compared with 156 across the combined tournament lists. Check your game's word list before building a play around an uncommon entry.
