The pattern is C _ _ E _ _: the first and fourth letters are fixed, while the other four positions stay open. The matches range from everyday words such as comedy and cinema to less familiar entries. Of the 135 words, 26 fall into the common group, so a compact pattern still produces a mix of recognizable and specialist vocabulary.

The C-and-E pattern at a glance

  • There are 135 six-letter words with C in position one and E in position four.
  • Career, camera, cheese, client, and comedy are among the familiar examples.
  • The most frequent final letter is S, with 75 matches ending that way.
  • A total of 115 matches have a dictionary definition.
  • COZEYS leads the high-score examples at 20 points.

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.

Questions people ask

How many common words match C first and E fourth?
There are 26 common words among the matches. Familiar examples include career, camera, cheese, client, comedy, and cinema, while many other entries are less familiar. Commonness describes word frequency, not whether every game accepts a word, so keep the game’s dictionary in mind.
Which matching word has the highest score?
COZEYS has the highest score in the examples, at 20 points. CHEEKY follows at 18, while COZENS and CIZERS score 17 each. More familiar choices such as comedy and chiefs score 14, so the strongest scoring options are not necessarily the most everyday words.
Do all 135 words appear in every tournament dictionary?
No, the matching words do not all appear in every tournament dictionary. Collins includes 134, NWL2023 includes 116, and ENABLE includes 113. These dictionary counts overlap, and the full set counts words found in at least one of those lists. Check your game’s accepted list when a word looks unfamiliar.
