The fixed C and S frame a group with plenty of recognizable words, but many entries are less familiar. Just 83 meet our common-word cutoff, while 492 have a definition. The final S often marks a plural or verb form, as in claims, causes, and closes, so check the surrounding clue before settling on a word.

At a glance for the C-first, S-last pattern

  • Exactly 561 tournament-dictionary entries begin with C and end with S at six letters.
  • Claims, cities, causes, crisis, and campus are recognizable examples.
  • Only 83 entries meet our common-word cutoff; 492 have a definition.
  • Checks scores 17 points before board bonuses, making it a strong familiar play.

How many 6-letter words have C first and S last?

There are 561 matches. That is more than the 440 six-letter words starting with B and ending in S, but fewer than the 910 that start with S and end in S. C sits between those two starting letters in this comparison.

With C fixed at the start, S is the most common ending among the compared patterns: 203 words end in E, 158 in Y, and 157 in D. Familiar S-ending examples include covers, colors, courts, and copies, giving you several everyday options when the crossing letters fit.

Which C-first, S-last words score well?

The scoring peak reaches 26 points, but those top forms are much less familiar than checks, chicks, chucks, and crazes, which each score 17 before board bonuses. For 6-letter words with C first and S last, a practical play is often the familiar word that fits cleanly, rather than an obscure high-value option you cannot place.

The dictionary counts differ: Collins includes 547 matches, NWL2023 has 444, and ENABLE has 411. Those counts overlap, so they do not add up to the total. Not every game accepts every entry; check your game's word list when a less common form decides the play.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words start with C and end with S?
There are 561 six-letter words that start with C and end with S across the tournament dictionaries. Familiar examples include claims, cities, causes, and crisis. Only 83 meet our common-word cutoff, so expect many less familiar choices in the full group.
Are all 561 C-first, S-last words accepted in every word game?
No, acceptance depends on the game's dictionary. Collins contains 547 of these words, compared with 444 in NWL2023 and 411 in ENABLE. Those dictionary groups overlap, and their different totals mean a word accepted in one game may not be accepted in another.
Which familiar word in this pattern scores 17 points?
Checks scores 17 points before board bonuses, as do chicks, chucks, and crazes. Less familiar entries reach a 26-point peak, but the best practical play still depends on your rack, board position, and the word list your game uses.
