5-letter words with C as the 1st letter and R as the 2nd letter

The opening pair CR narrows the search quickly, but the next letters make for a varied set: CRAZY, CROSS, CRIME, CREAM, and CRANE all fit. Of the 109 entries, 37 rank among the commonest English words. The rest include less familiar choices, so a matching pattern alone does not guarantee a word will be accepted in your game.

How many 5-letter words with C first and R second?

• There are 109 tournament-dictionary words with CR in the first two positions.
• All 109 are allowed Wordle guesses, while 45 are on the answer list.
• The set contains 37 common words, including CROSS, CRIME, and CREAM.
• S is the most frequent final letter, with 27 words; E follows with 22.
• CRAZY leads the listed tile scores at 19 points.

Which CR words fit a Wordle pattern?

A confirmed C in the first slot and R in the second leaves 45 possible answers in this set. The full 109-word group also supplies allowed guesses, so it is broader than the answer list. Keep that distinction in mind when checking a solver or narrowing a puzzle.

For a familiar starting point, consider CRANE, CRASH, CRACK, or CROWN; each is among the examples here, but the answer count does not identify which examples are Wordle answers. Once CR is fixed, use the remaining feedback to test the third, fourth, and fifth letters rather than guessing another CR word at random.

Which CR words score highest, and where do endings cluster?

CRAZY is the top scorer at 19 points, ahead of CRAZE and CROZE at 16 each. CRACK, CROCK, CRICK, CRUCK, and CRWTH each score 13. The high-value choices are not all everyday vocabulary, so learn the word before relying on it over the board.

The final letters cluster around S and E: 27 words end in S and 22 in E, while K accounts for 11 and T for 10. Dictionary coverage also varies: 74 entries occur in ENABLE, 103 in Collins, and 82 in NWL2023. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
