At a glance: the C-E ending
- There are 62 tournament-dictionary matches for the C-E pattern.

- A total of 25 matches rank among common English words.
Which first letters appear most often?
P, S, and D are the strongest starting-letter choices: they contribute 10, 9, and 8 words respectively. Try PRICE, SPACE, or DANCE when one of those initials fits your crossing letters. G and T each start 5 matches, giving you two smaller but balanced groups.
The 62-word total is a union across dictionaries, not a sum of their separate counts. Collins has 61 matches, compared with 48 in NWL2023 and 47 in ENABLE; a word can appear in more than one list. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry.
How do you use 5-letter words with C 4th and E 5th?
For Wordle, 30 matching words also appear in the answer list, and all 62 matches are allowed guesses. Common options such as SINCE, PEACE, and TRACE give you recognizable candidates when the final two tiles are C and E. The pattern alone does not identify which answer fits your other clues.
For scoring, JUICE is the standout at 14 points; CHACE scores 12, while BOCCE and GRYCE each score 11. FORCE, VOICE, and TWICE score 10 apiece. An unusual high score does not make a word familiar or accepted in every game's dictionary.
