The pattern is _C__R_: C is fixed in position two, R in position five, and four tiles remain open. Only 3 of the 22 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Recognizable options like actors and occurs share the set with specialist terms such as ochery and schorl, so a matching pattern does not guarantee an everyday word.

How many words fit this letter pattern?
The pattern has 22 tournament-dictionary matches. That is a narrow pool beside the 231 words with A in the second spot and R in the fifth, so a confirmed C sharply limits the search.
S dominates both edges: 10 words start with S, and 10 end with S. Try scurry, scours, and sclera when S is available at the front; actors and occurs show how often the final S pairs with the same fixed letters.
Which matches score well in Scrabble?
Ochery is the top scorer at 14 points before board bonuses. Ackers, echard, uckers, ickers, and ockers each score 12, while accord and scurry score 11. These are face-value comparisons, so premium squares can change the result.
For 6-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and R as the 5th letter, dictionary choice matters: Collins lists 22, while ENABLE and NWL2023 list 15 each. Some entries therefore will not transfer across every game. Check the word list used in your match before building a play around an obscure form.
