The fourth-position C creates a useful split: tracks, trucks, and tricks share a TR-C shape, while traces and touchy take different routes through the middle. There are 51 tournament-dictionary matches. Nine are common-frequency, so familiar candidates exist, but the pattern also reaches less everyday vocabulary.

Pattern facts at a glance

  • 51 tournament-dictionary words fit this exact pattern.
  • 43 entries are defined, and 9 are common-frequency.
  • S closes 14 entries, while Y closes 7; D appears at the end of 6.
  • THICKY leads at 18 points; TRICKY, THICKO, and THICKS each score 15.

Which examples and endings narrow the set?

Ending letters separate the candidates quickly. S finishes 14 words, twice the 7 that finish in Y; D appears on 6. That makes tracks and trucks natural clue checks, while tricky and touchy fit a Y ending.

The pattern is more varied than a single TR cluster suggests, with teacup and tomcat also matching.

The TR-C cluster carries straightforward choices, but other examples prevent a one-rule solve. Touchy and teacup both place C fourth without sharing the same opening run. A confirmed third or fifth tile can matter more than the first two letters.

Tracks, trucks, and tricks share a strong consonant frame; traces shifts the vowel while preserving the fixed C. Teacup and tomcat show why the first three letters should not be treated as a single prefix. For a crossword clue, use the definition first, then test whether the answer belongs to the TR-C cluster or another shape.

A practical clue check

Tip

THICKY is the scoring standout at 18, three points above TRICKY. When the board rewards a high-value letter, compare both before playing; when the clue is ordinary vocabulary, tracks or traces will be easier to recognize.
