7-letter words with C as the 1st letter and R as the 4th letter

The fixed pattern is C _ _ R _ _ _: the first and fourth letters are locked, while the other five positions stay open. Familiar entries include CURRENT, CORRECT, CARRIED, and COURSES; more specialized options include CHORIZO and CHARQUI. Only 27 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq, so the recognizable examples make a useful starting point.

What stands out in this C-and-R pattern?

• 201 entries match the pattern across tournament dictionaries.
• Collins includes 199; NWL2023 includes 153, so game lists differ.
• ENABLE includes 147 matches, the smallest of the three dictionary totals.
• CURRENT, CORRECT, and CARRIED are among the familiar examples.
• CHORIZO, CHARQUI, and CZARDOM each score 21 points.

How many 7-letter words with C first and R fourth?

Exactly 201 words meet this pattern. That is fewer than the 247 matches with T in fourth place, but more than the 179 with S there. R sits between those nearby choices rather than leading them.

With R fixed in fourth place, C's 201 matches trail S's 341 but exceed A's 140 and B's 105. The opening letter alone does not predict a pattern's size; the fourth letter matters too. Definitions are available for 165 entries, still short of the full tournament set.

Which 7-letter words with C first and R fourth score highest?

CHORIZO, CHARQUI, and CZARDOM lead at 21 points apiece before premium squares. CHURCHY and CZARISM follow at 20; CHARKHA and CZARDAS score 19. These are strong raw-tile totals, but an unfamiliar word still needs to be accepted by your game.

Endings show another useful pattern: 55 matches end in S, 30 in E, and 26 in D, together accounting for 111 of 201. Trying a likely plural or inflected ending can narrow a solve, but only 27 matches meet the frequency threshold. Check your game's word list when an obscure scorer matters.
