6-letter words with C as the 3rd letter and R as the 6th letter

With both positions fixed, the middle of the pattern is the key: C occupies slot three and R closes every answer. Familiar examples include doctor, factor, sector, soccer, and victor, but the full 75 also contains rarer game entries such as decker and yacker. The count covers tournament dictionaries, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar candidate.

C third and R last at a glance

• Exactly 75 entries meet the six-letter pattern: C is third and R is sixth.
• doctor, factor, sector, soccer, and victor are familiar examples from the larger set.
• First letters are led by S with 8 matches; D, L, and R each begin 7.
• 21 matches are common by the word-frequency measure.

How does dictionary coverage affect these matches?

Dictionary coverage differs by game list: Collins recognizes 73 matches, NWL2023 includes 64, and ENABLE has 58. These figures overlap; they are not three batches to add to the combined total of 75. A word accepted by one list may be missing from another.

That split matters because common and specialized entries sit side by side. doctor, factor, anchor, and locker are easy to recognize; a solver working under a specific game list should confirm unfamiliar candidates before playing. The 75-word count covers entries present in at least one tournament dictionary, not every possible six-letter spelling.

Position clues beat a loose search for C: once it occupies slot three, keep the final R fixed and test only the first two spaces and the pair in the middle. S-starting words lead the first-letter groups at 8, while D, L, and R each have 7 entries. The leading groups are close enough that the known positions should guide your next guess.
