This is a compact frame: just 15 tournament words put K in the sixth slot after an opening C. Cupcake, colicky, catlike, and cowpoke are the recognizable anchors; 14 have definitions, but only one counts as common. The average tile value is unusually high at 17.2.

At a glance — the C-K letter frame

  • Collins recognizes 14 of the 15 matches; ENABLE has 10 and NWL2023 has 12.
  • Seven entries end in E, while six end in S; only two use another final letter.
  • CHACHKA and CHYACKS tie at 21 points, ahead of CROJIKS at 20.
  • Cupcake scores 17, showing a familiar candidate can still trail the unusual leaders.
  • Only one word falls in the common-frequency group, so dictionary status does not promise everyday vocabulary.

Does the seventh tile settle this clue?

The final slot nearly divides the set in two: E appears seven times and S six times. That makes the seventh tile a sharper clue than the initial C, which every entry shares. Cupcake, cowpoke, and convoke are among the E-ending options.

The score ceiling comes from less familiar spellings. CHACHKA and CHYACKS each reach 21, while CROJIKS lands at 20; a rack with awkward consonants can therefore produce the top score.

How should you use 7-letter words with C first and K sixth?

Tip

This set is better for a precise rack or board pattern than for casual recall: only one entry is common by frequency.

Questions people ask

What endings appear in this sixth-K frame?
E closes seven candidates and S closes six. A and Y occur once each, leaving the terminal tile as a strong early discriminator. The E/S split covers nearly the whole set. A confirmed A or Y at the end leaves only one possibility to inspect.
Which two entries share the score peak?
CHACHKA and CHYACKS both reach 21 points. CROJIKS follows at 20, only one point behind the leaders. Both are less familiar than cupcake or colicky, so check acceptance before using either in a competitive game.
Is cupcake the only recognizable option?
No. Colicky, catlike, cowpoke, and convoke are also recognizable examples, though only one word is common-frequency overall. Cupcake and colicky are recognizable, while cowpoke and catlike also anchor the examples. The common-frequency count is still just one.
