That fixed CR opening still leaves a varied set: 36 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, while 238 have definitions. The final letters are less evenly spread: S, D, and R lead the endings. For a tighter clue, match the last letter as well as the first two.

The CR pattern at a glance

  • All 295 entries start with CR and have seven letters.
  • Collins includes 286 entries; NWL2023 includes 225.
  • The average tile score is 12.1 before board bonuses.
  • CREATED, CRYSTAL, and CRICKET are recognizable examples.
  • S is the most common final letter, with 65 words.

7-letter words with C first and R second

This CR group sits between several neighboring patterns in size: P-R has 429 matches and T-R has 333, while A-R has 188. For other C openings, O leads with 776, followed by A with 643 and H with 480.

The examples show how little the shared start tells you about meaning. CREATED, CREATES, and CREATOR are related forms; CRYSTAL, CRICKET, and CRIMSON are quite different. Endings cluster at S (65), D (49), and R (45), so check the final tile before settling on a familiar guess.

Which CR words score highest?

CRAZILY leads the high-score examples at 21 points. CRYBABY scores 19, while CROQUET scores 18; their less routine letter combinations lift their face values above everyday choices such as CRYSTAL.

A high tile score does not guarantee a strong board play. Save CRAZILY for a placement that uses its Z well.

What this CR pattern leaves out

The 295 7-letter words with C as the 1st letter and R as the 2nd letter are the combined tournament-dictionary set, not a promise that every entry appears in every game. Collins counts 286, compared with 225 in NWL2023; check your game's word list when a move depends on a disputed word.

Frequency is another limit: only 36 entries fall within the top 25,000 English words, so many matches will be unfamiliar. For a shorter version of the same opening, compare the six-letter pattern; for another seven-letter C-R group, change the second letter.
