6-letter words with C as the 4th letter and R as the 6th letter

These fixed letters form _ _ _ C _ R: C occupies slot four, and R closes every answer. Of the 42 tournament-listed matches, just 6 qualify as common by frequency. Familiar entries include CANCER, SOCCER, and DANCER; the rest range from recognizable choices such as SAUCER to specialist terms such as TROCAR.

6-letter words with C as the 4th letter and R as the 6th letter

• The pattern has 42 matches across tournament word lists.
• Every match ends in R, because the sixth position is fixed.
• S starts 10 matches, more than any other first letter.
• BOXCAR leads the scoring table at 17 points; JUICER follows at 15.
• Only 6 matches qualify as common by frequency.

Which words fit C in fourth place and R at the end?

Start with recognizable options: CANCER, SOCCER, DANCER, SAUCER, and GROCER all match the _ _ _ C _ R pattern. TRACER, SPACER, and JUICER are other clear choices, while CONCUR offers a different vowel-consonant shape.

First-letter counts give you a quick narrowing trick: S leads with 10 matches, while C has 5; P and T each start 4. If the first tile is unknown, test S-starting candidates before cycling through less frequent beginnings. The fixed ending rules out every candidate that does not finish in R.

A known vowel can separate CANCER and DANCER from the consonant-heavy shape of CONCUR, making the middle slots easier to test.

How do the scores and dictionary lists compare?

BOXCAR scores 17 points, the highest in the set; JUICER follows at 15. FENCER, FORCER, WINCER, TWICER, FARCER, SOWCAR, and VOICER each score 11. High-value letters push BOXCAR to the top, but a strong raw score is only a starting point; tile placement decides the board result.

Dictionary coverage varies across the 42-word set: Collins includes 41 entries, NWL2023 has 36, and ENABLE has 34. Those totals overlap, so no single list contains every match. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar choice.

The contrast with nearby patterns is striking: keeping C fourth but changing the final R to S gives 231 matches, while ending in E gives 58. With only 42 R-ending candidates, preserve the final slot as a hard constraint and work backward from known tiles.
