The pattern is C _ _ _ E _, so the fifth letter is fixed while the second, third, fourth, and final positions remain open. Familiar choices include CAREER, CANCER, COFFEE, and CLEVER. The collection mixes everyday vocabulary with less familiar tournament entries, and its final letters cluster heavily around S, D, and R.

How many 6-letter words have C first and E fifth?

  • 483 words match the C _ _ _ E _ pattern across the supported tournament dictionaries.
  • 81 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by word-frequency data.
  • S is the leading final letter at 132 words; D follows at 130, then R at 118.
  • Collins includes 479 matches, compared with 377 in NWL2023 and 361 in ENABLE.
  • The average listed Scrabble score is 10.8 points, but board placement changes a play's value.

Which final letters are most common?

S, D, and R dominate the endings: together they account for 380 matches. That makes a known final S, D, or R a strong filter when you are narrowing the pattern, but it does not identify a word by itself.

Examples show how varied those endings can be. CALLED and CLOSED finish with D; CAREER and CLOSER end in R; CITIES and CAUSES finish in S. By contrast, only 9 matches end in E, so a final E is a much tighter clue.

Which C-and-E words suit a game move?

For familiar vocabulary, start with CENTER, CAREER, CANCER, COFFEE, CORNER, or COPPER. Those examples are easier to recognize than obscure tournament entries, but always check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar form.

For a high-scoring Scrabble play, CUZZES and COZZES lead at 26 points each before board bonuses. CONVEX, CRAZED, COZIED, CHOKEY, and CEAZED each score 18.

These figures reflect letter values on a plain board; premium squares can change the total. The pattern is a letter filter, not a guarantee that every match is equally playable.
