7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and C as the 7th letter

A fixed pattern still leaves plenty of variety in the first letter and in familiarity. PACIFIC and CARDIAC are easy to recognize, while XANTHIC and SAZERAC catch the eye for their point totals. Just 6 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so this is a mix of everyday vocabulary and less familiar game words. The final C never changes; the opening letter gives you room to narrow a clue.

The pattern at a glance

• 55 seven-letter words put A in slot two and C in slot seven.
• Collins accepts 54 matches; NWL2023 accepts 46, and ENABLE accepts 43.
• Only 6 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• 39 entries have definitions, while many less common forms call for a dictionary check.

Which 7-letter words have A second and C last?

C is the most frequent opening letter, starting 8 matches. B begins 7; M, P, and S each begin 6. That makes C and B useful first-letter checks when the second and final positions are already fixed.

Familiar options include PACIFIC, CARDIAC, GASTRIC, SATANIC, and FANATIC. The same pattern also reaches into more specialized vocabulary, including CANOPIC and KARSTIC. Changing only the second letter shifts the count: E in that position has 71 matches, while O has 46.

Which words score most in Scrabble?

XANTHIC tops the scoring group at 19 points. SAZERAC, BACCHIC, JALAPIC, and TAXEMIC each earn 18, while PACIFIC scores 16. That contrast is striking: the best point total belongs to a word many players know less readily than PACIFIC.

Dictionary coverage is the catch for these high-value plays. Collins accepts 54 pattern matches, but NWL2023 accepts 46 and ENABLE accepts 43. An unfamiliar word can be a strong rack play and still fail in a different game list, so check your game's dictionary before putting it down.
