Twelve entries meet this exact pattern, but the pool is split between S-openers and A-openers. SCHOOL and ACTUAL are among the familiar matches; several others, including SCHORL and ACCOIL, are less likely to surface from memory. Dictionary coverage is uneven too, with Collins accepting more entries than ENABLE and NWL2023.

6-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and L as the 6th letter

  • Twelve tournament-dictionary words fit the pattern: C occupies position two, and L closes every entry.
  • Seven begin with S, including SCHOOL and SCROLL; the other five begin with A, including ACTUAL and ACETYL.
  • Three entries meet the common-word frequency threshold: SCHOOL, ACTUAL, and SCROLL.
  • SCHOOL, ACETYL, SCRAWL, SCHORL, SCROWL, and ACRAWL each score 11 points in Scrabble.

How many matches appear in each word list?

There are 12 matches overall, but the dictionary split matters: Collins contains all 12, while ENABLE and NWL2023 contain 7 each. SCHOOL, ACTUAL, and SCROLL are among the familiar options in those smaller lists; check your game’s rules before relying on the other entries.

Position one divides the set neatly: S accounts for 7 words and A for 5. Try the familiar S words first when solving from a fixed pattern, then test the A group. That narrows the possibilities without assuming every dictionary accepts every candidate.

Which matches score highest, and which are easiest to spot?

Tip

Treat S and A as the only possible first letters: 7 matches start with S, and 5 with A. A first-letter crossing removes nearly half the set.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have C second and L last?
Twelve tournament-dictionary words match the pattern. SCHOOL, ACTUAL, and SCROLL are among the recognizable options, while the full set also includes less familiar spellings such as SCHORL and ACCOIL. The first letter is either S or A.
Which C-second, L-last words score highest in Scrabble?
Six matches tie for the top score at 11 points: SCHOOL, ACETYL, SCRAWL, SCHORL, SCROWL, and ACRAWL. ACTUAL and SCROLL score 8 points each, so a familiar word is not always the highest-scoring play.
Are all 12 words accepted in every word game?
No. Collins includes all 12 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 7. Acceptance depends on the word list used by your game, so confirm an unfamiliar choice such as SCHORL or ACCOIL before playing.
