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

This pattern produces a compact set: every answer has C in position two and R at the end. Only one of the 17 entries ranks among the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency, so familiar options such as SCORER and ECLAIR sit alongside less common forms. The dictionary totals also differ: Collins has all 17, while ENABLE has 12.

Quick facts about the C–R pattern

• There are 17 six-letter matches, and every one ends in R.
• SCORER, OCULAR, SCALAR, and ECLAIR are among the listed examples.
• ICKLER and ICKIER lead the scores at 12 points apiece.
• Collins includes 17 entries, compared with 13 in NWL2023 and 12 in ENABLE.
• Only one match ranks in the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency.

Which 6-letter words have C second and R last?

The first letters narrow the group further: six matches start with S and five start with A. E, I, and O each begin two words. That makes SCORER, SCALAR, SCOTER, and SCALER good candidates when you already know the opening letter.

Fifteen of the 17 entries have definitions. Still, the frequency count shows that most are not everyday vocabulary. The pattern is a strong fit for a precise letter clue, but it is not a shortcut to common words.

How should you use these words in a word game?

For Scrabble points, check ICKLER and ICKIER first: both score 12. ECHOER, SCRYER, and ACHIER each score 11, while SCORER, OCULAR, SCALAR, and ECLAIR each score 8. The top pair beats the familiar-looking options on face value.

Dictionary coverage is not identical across games: Collins lists 17 matches, NWL2023 lists 13, and ENABLE lists 12. Check your game's word list before playing. For 6-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and R as the 6th letter, the pattern matters more than familiarity.
