Of the 135 words, 26 fall into the common group, so a compact pattern still produces a mix of recognizable and specialist vocabulary.

Which 6-letter words with C first and E fourth are familiar?
Career, camera, cheese, client, comedy, and cinema give you several straightforward candidates for a letter-pattern puzzle. Cereal and celery also fit, while cheeky and creepy offer a different sound and spelling shape.
The ending is especially lopsided: 75 words finish with S, compared with 14 ending in Y and 9 ending in T. Covers, cheers, and cheeks show how often the pattern reaches a plural or verb form with final S; don't assume every match is a basic singular noun.
How do scores and dictionary coverage compare?
For 6-letter words with C first and E fourth, a high score is not the same thing as an everyday answer. COZEYS tops the score examples at 20, followed by CHEEKY at 18; COZENS and CIZERS each score 17. By contrast, comedy and chiefs score 14 apiece.
Dictionary coverage varies across the matching set: Collins includes 134 words, NWL2023 includes 116, and ENABLE includes 113. Those totals overlap, so they are not separate piles to add together. Some entries will not be accepted in every game; check the word list your game uses before building a play around an obscure candidate.
