6-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and C as the 3rd letter

The pattern is CC in positions two and three, so every match begins either ACC or OCC. Fourteen start with A and six with O, making the opening letters unusually predictable. Eight qualify as common by frequency, while Collins lists all 20 and ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 11, a gap that matters if your game uses a North American word list.

6-letter words with C as the 2nd and 3rd letters at a glance

• The pattern has 20 matches, and each has CC in positions two and three.
• Every word begins ACC or OCC: 14 start with A, while six start with O.
• Eight entries count as common; ACCESS, ACCEPT, and OCCURS are familiar examples.
• OCCUPY and OCCAMY tie for the highest score at 15 points.

Which words fit the doubled-C pattern?

ACCESS, ACCEPT, ACCENT, ACCORD, ACCUSE, ACCRUE, ACCEDE, and ACCOST show the everyday side of the ACC group. OCCURS and OCCUPY show the other opening. The pattern is easy to scan because the first letter is restricted to A or O, but familiarity drops quickly beyond the common examples.

Eight of the 20 matches are classed as common, so don't treat every answer as equally recognizable. OCCAMY, ACCOYS, and ACCREW belong to the less familiar end of the set. If a puzzle confirms the two Cs but leaves the first letter open, check both ACC and OCC before testing other positions.

How do these doubled-C words score and vary by dictionary?

OCCUPY and OCCAMY lead at 15 points apiece. ACCLOY, ACCOYS, and ACCREW follow at 13, while ACCEPT scores 12 and ACCORD scores 11.

OCCAMY is the surprising name beside the familiar OCCUPY: the rare entry shares the top tile total. Board bonuses can change a turn's result, so treat these as base scores.

For 6-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and C as the 3rd letter, dictionary choice matters. Collins includes all 20, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 11. Some less familiar forms therefore won't transfer to every tournament game; check your game's word list before playing OCCAMY or ACCOYS.
