The frame is _ _ C _ _ S, so the last tile is always S and a plural or verb form is never far away. ACCESS, INCHES, OCCURS, and LOCALS are the everyday anchors, while JOCKOS and ZOCCOS push the ceiling to 19. Seventeen entries count as common, so familiar plurals sit beside tournament-only spellings.

The _ _ C _ _ S frame

  • 207 tournament words fit the frame _ _ C _ _ S.
  • The closing S marks a plural or a verb form in most of them.
  • 56 close on -ES, 24 on -OS, and 14 on -US.
  • JOCKOS and ZOCCOS share the top score of 19.
  • Collins lists 196, NWL2023 150, and ENABLE 130.
  • R opens 23 words, M opens 18, and L opens 17.

Why so many of these words are plurals

An S in the last slot rarely stays just a letter; it usually signals a plural or a verb ending. LOCALS, CYCLES, VOCALS, UNCLES, PACERS, and RACERS are plain plurals, and the -ES tail alone covers 56 of the 207 words.

The -OS and -US endings add 38 more, taking in entries such as OSCARS, NACHOS, and CACTUS. Together those three tails account for 94 words, so when a crossing clue points this way, a plural guess usually pays.

The rare-letter scorers at the top

Two words tie on 19: JOCKOS, which pairs a J with a K, and ZOCCOS, which doubles the Z. WYCHES reaches 17 and YECCHS 16, while EXCESS and EXCELS settle on 15. Every one of those scores leans on a tile most players are relieved to draw.

The ordinary words sit much lower. ACCESS and OCCURS score 10 each and INCHES just 11, so the familiar end of the list rarely carries the big tiles. Score hunting here means chasing the rare letters, not the recognisable plurals.

A note on the crowded S ending

Note

Collins allows 196 of the 207 words, but ENABLE takes only 130, so a rare plural that clears one list may fail another. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar spelling.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have C third and S last?
There are 207. The closing S is usually a plural or verb ending: 56 words close on -ES, 24 on -OS, and 14 on -US. ACCESS, INCHES, OCCURS, and LOCALS are familiar examples.
Which words here score the highest?
JOCKOS and ZOCCOS tie on 19 points, JOCKOS through its J and K and ZOCCOS through a doubled Z. WYCHES scores 17, YECCHS 16, and EXCESS and EXCELS 15.
Do all 207 words appear in every dictionary?
No. Collins carries 196, NWL2023 150, and ENABLE 130, so the stricter lists drop dozens of entries. Familiar picks such as ACCESS and LOCALS are safe, while a rare one like JOCKOS is worth testing first.
