Lock C into the opening slot and O into the fifth, and the pattern leaves three letters open. The matches range from everyday words such as CUSTOMS and COUPONS to less familiar high scorers like COXCOMB. Just 22 entries rank among common English words, so the pattern is more productive than its familiar examples suggest.

C first, O fifth at a glance

  • The pattern has 235 matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
  • Only 22 matches are common by English-word frequency.
  • CURIOUS, COMFORT, and CUSTODY are recognizable examples.
  • COXCOMB scores 22 points, the highest score among these entries.
  • Final S is the most frequent ending, with 95 words.

Standout entries with C first and O fifth

For familiar vocabulary, start with CURIOUS, COMFORT, CUSTOMS, and CARTOON. CONSOLE, COUPONS, and CARROTS also fit the pattern, while CONFORM and CONDONE offer different endings and letter combinations.

The score leaders are less everyday: COXCOMB reaches 22 points, edging CHAMOIX at 21 by a single point, and COOKOFF scores 19. CALZONE, CANZONE, and COWPOKE each score 18. These are worth checking against your game's dictionary before you build a play around them.

Both X words get most of their value from the X tile.

How do the endings and neighboring patterns compare?

Ending S dominates: 95 words finish that way, compared with 43 ending in E and 25 in D. Together, those three endings account for most of the common-looking choices, including COMMONS, CONSOLE, and CUSTODY.

C first and O fifth has 235 matches, just ahead of P in the same positions at 231 and S at 229. Change the fifth letter instead, and C-first words with I there number 547; with E there, 347. For 7-letter words with C first and O fifth, the practical limitation is that only 22 are common, and dictionary coverage differs: Collins has 225, while NWL2023 has 186.
