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

The pattern brings together 142 tournament-dictionary words, but only 26 meet our common-word frequency measure. Many recognizable entries end in -ING, including CUTTING, CAUSING, CLOSING, and COOKING. That mix makes the pattern easier to scan than its raw total suggests, though a legal play still depends on your game's dictionary.

C-to-G words at a glance

• There are 142 qualifying seven-letter words, each beginning with C and ending with G.
• CALLING, CUTTING, CAUSING, and CLOSING are familiar examples from the group.
• COZYING leads the scoring list at 22 points; CRAZING and CEAZING score 19.
• The group includes 124 defined entries, while 26 count as common by frequency.
• Collins has 139 matches, compared with 115 in NWL2023 and 106 in ENABLE.

Which C-to-G words score the most?

COZYING is the standout at 22 points. CRAZING and CEAZING each reach 19, while CHOKING, COAXING, CATJANG, and COWKING each score 17. Those are the top entries in the scoring results, so check your board before choosing one.

For a more familiar option, CHOKING scores 17 and CHEWING scores 16. The contrast is striking: the highest scorer is less everyday than these examples, while the pattern also contains recognizable forms such as CHASING and CAMPING. A strong rack play and an easy-to-spot word are not always the same thing.

Dictionary coverage varies across the pattern

The 142-match total counts words found in at least one tournament dictionary, not words accepted by every game. Collins has 139, NWL2023 has 115, and ENABLE has 106; those overlapping totals reflect different word lists, not separate groups to add together.

C-G has fewer matches than the same pattern with B at the start, which has 179, or S at the start, which has 252. The limitation matters most when you rely on an unusual play such as CEAZING or CATJANG: check your game's word list before committing, because a word accepted in one dictionary may not transfer to another.
