7-letter words with C as the 1st letter and C as the 6th letter

This pattern puts C at both ends of a narrow five-letter gap: positions two through five can vary, but the sixth letter must return to C. CONTACT, CORRECT, CONDUCT, and CONNECT are familiar examples; less common entries include CARRICK and COSSACK. Only 12 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect many obscure options.

• CONTACT, CORRECT, CONDUCT, CONNECT, and COLLECT are recognizable choices.
• The final letter is T most often, with 17 words; K follows with 16.
• CARJACK is the top scorer at 22 points, ahead of CHYMICS at 19.

Which letters finish these C-pattern words?

T and K together account for 33 of the 74 matches. CONTACT and CONDUCT show the T ending; CUTBACK and CARJACK show K. S is another strong finish, with 14 matches, including CRITICS and CLERICS.

The tail gets thin quickly: just one word ends in O, and only two end in A or Y. That makes the last letter a useful filter after you lock in the two Cs. It also makes familiar words less representative of the full set.

How should you use the pattern in a word game?

For a seven-tile Scrabble play, check the rack before reaching for an obscure entry. Scrabble awards a 50-point bingo bonus for using all seven tiles, so a modest listed score can still make a strong play. CARJACK's 22-point listed score stands out, but board premiums and available hooks decide the actual turn.

Dictionary coverage differs: the matches include 50 ENABLE words, 72 Collins words, and 53 NWL2023 words. Those sets overlap, so the counts are not separate piles to add together. Many matches are uncommon, and none are Wordle answers; check your game's word list before relying on a rare form.
