The pattern fixes C at the opening and Z in slot four, leaving four letters to vary. That constraint yields 15 tournament-list entries, but just one counts as common by frequency. CRAZED is the easiest to recognize; most of its companions are less familiar forms, so dictionary coverage matters more than intuition.

6-letter words with C as the 1st letter and Z as the 4th letter

  • The pattern is C??Z??, with 15 matching words.
  • CRAZED and CRAZES are among the more recognizable examples.
  • CUZZES and COZZES tie for the top score at 26 points.
  • All 15 appear in Collins; ENABLE has 8 and NWL2023 has 9.
  • Only one match is common by frequency, while 11 have definitions.

Which matching words score highest?

CUZZES and COZZES share the lead at 26 points. CHAZAN reaches 20, COBZAS scores 19, and CRAZED scores 18. The average across the set is 18.7, so CRAZED sits close to the middle rather than near the top.

Both leaders double the Z in adjacent middle slots. That repeated high-value letter helps explain their edge over CRAZED. Check the spelling before committing: a plausible-looking rearrangement is not interchangeable with a playable word.

How restrictive is Z in the fourth position?

Changing the first letter has a big effect: six-letter words with B first and Z fourth number 38, against 15 with C. Keep C in place but put I in the fourth slot, and the count jumps to 168; T gives 144 and E gives 135. The Z pattern is unusually tight.

The 6-letter words with C as the 1st letter and Z as the 4th letter skew obscure: only one is common by frequency, though 11 have definitions. All 15 appear in Collins, compared with 8 in ENABLE and 9 in NWL2023. Check your game's word list before playing.
