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

The pattern fixes C in the opening slot and P in the sixth, leaving five other positions to vary. The 17 matches range from familiar forms such as concept and corrupt to specialist-looking entries such as cacoepy and concupy. Only 3 meet the frequency threshold for common words, so a valid fit is not automatically a word you will recognize.

How many 7-letter words have C first and P sixth?

Exactly 17 seven-letter words put C first and P sixth in the tournament dictionaries counted here. CONCEPT, CORRUPT, and CYCLOPS show how different the remaining letters can look while preserving that fixed pattern.

The sixth letter is a useful anchor: check it before testing the rest of a candidate. Positions two through five then distinguish entries such as CONCEPT and CORRUPT, while the final letter gives another quick check. Ten matches finish with S, making that the standout ending.

The set also has an uneven familiarity profile. Only 3 matches fall within the common group; the other entries include less familiar forms such as CACOEPY and CONCUPY. Treat a pattern match as a candidate, not proof that your game accepts it.

Which C-P matches score highest?

CHUTZPA scores 23 points, ahead of COCKUPS at 17. CYCLOPS, CACOEPY, and CONCUPY each score 16, so several less familiar spellings sit near the top of the scoring list.

For 7-letter words with C as the 1st letter and P as the 6th letter, the average face-value score is 13.6. CHUTZPA stands out because its high-scoring letters lift it well above that average; board premiums can change a play's actual total.

Dictionary coverage is not identical across games: Collins has all 17 entries, compared with 12 in NWL2023 and 11 in ENABLE. Check your game's word list before relying on a Collins-only candidate; the pattern alone does not guarantee acceptance.
