The fixed letters leave five open positions, but the endings cluster sharply: G and S account for the largest groups. Familiar choices sit alongside less common entries, so start with words you recognize and use the final letter to narrow the search. The strongest Scrabble score in the group belongs to cozying.

The pattern at a glance

  • 332 words begin with C and place N in the sixth position.
  • 50 entries rank among the common words measured by frequency.
  • G is the leading final letter, with 136 matching words.
  • S is the next most frequent ending, with 84 words.
  • Cozying tops the listed Scrabble scores at 22 points.

Which 7-letter words have C first and N sixth?

Company, current, and content are familiar examples that match the pattern. Their middle letters differ, but each keeps C at the start and N just before the final letter. Calling, comment, and command offer other recognizable options when those first choices do not fit your rack.

The ending provides a useful second filter. After G and S, E appears on 45 words; examples include ceiling and cuisine. The list also includes 285 defined entries, but a match is not automatically a familiar everyday word.

How should you use this letter pattern?

For a board-game play, compare the letters you hold with the word’s score and the board squares available. Cozying scores 22 points, while chazans scores 21 and crazing scores 19. Those totals make unusual spellings worth checking when a high-value letter can reach a premium square.

The matching counts differ by dictionary: 236 entries appear in ENABLE, 324 in Collins, and 264 in NWL2023. This is a tournament-dictionary union, not a promise that every game accepts every entry; check your game’s word list before committing. The exact pattern, 7-letter words with C as the 1st letter and N as the 6th letter, is much narrower than a general C-starting search.

Questions people ask

What letter do most of these words end with?
G is the most common final letter, appearing on 136 matching words. S comes next with 84, followed by E with 45. If your other clues leave several candidates, testing a final G or S first will narrow the possibilities faster than starting with a rare ending.
Which matching word has the highest Scrabble score?
Cozying has the highest score at 22 points. Chazans follows at 21, and crazing and chewink each score 19. Board placement still matters: a premium letter square can change the value of a play, so weigh the word score against the spaces you can reach.
Are there more C-words with E or N in the sixth position?
There are more with E in the sixth position: that pattern has 823 seven-letter words, compared with 332 for N. If your clue confirms N, stay with the narrower group; switching to E opens a much larger set and changes the pattern you are solving.
