The pattern C-R leaves plenty of familiar choices, but the full set also reaches into less common vocabulary. CURRENT, CERTAIN, CORRECT, and CAREFUL are recognizable examples. Of the 356 matches, 38 rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect many less familiar entries as you scan beyond the everyday words.

Quick facts about this C-R pattern

  • 356 seven-letter entries begin with C and have R in position three.
  • CURRENT, CERTAIN, and CORRECT are familiar examples in the set.
  • 38 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • The most common final letter is S, with 127 words; E follows with 46.
  • Collins includes 350 matches, NWL2023 includes 290, and ENABLE includes 268.

How many 7-letter words have C first and R third?

There are 356 seven-letter words with C first and R third across the tournament dictionaries. That is just two fewer than the 358 words with C first and A third, while the S-first, R-third pattern has 429. The count is substantial, but the position clues narrow the search sharply.

Ending letters offer another quick filter: 127 matches finish in S, and 46 finish in E. Other frequent endings include L with 24 and A with 23. If your available letters point to a plural form, start with the S-ending group; for a likely E ending, the choices are much narrower.

Which C-first, R-third words score highest?

CARJACK leads the tile scores at 22 points. CERVEZA, CORYZAL, and CORYZAS each score 21, while CIRQUES and CARAPAX score 18. The average score across the set is 11.1, so those top entries stand well above the typical match.

The scoring leaders are less familiar than CURRENT or CORRECT, and dictionary coverage differs: 350 matches appear in Collins, compared with 290 in NWL2023 and 268 in ENABLE. A word accepted in one list may not appear in another, so check your game's word list before relying on an obscure entry. The 7-letter words with C first and R third also include 293 entries with definitions.

Questions people ask

What are some common 7-letter words with C first and R third?
CURRENT, CERTAIN, CORRECT, CAREFUL, and CARRIED are familiar examples with C in position one and R in position three. The full set has 356 matches, but only 38 rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so many entries are less common.
What is the highest-scoring word in this C-R pattern?
CARJACK scores 22 points, the highest tile score among these matches. CERVEZA, CORYZAL, and CORYZAS each score 21. These are tile scores before any board-square bonuses, so your final game score depends on where you place the word.
Are all 356 words accepted in every word game?
No, dictionary coverage varies by game. Collins includes 350 matches, NWL2023 includes 290, and ENABLE includes 268. An entry that appears in one of these lists may be absent from another, so verify unfamiliar words against the dictionary used in your game.
