Keeping S in the sixth position leaves 126 seven-letter matches, including Chinese, contest, closest, and consist. Nineteen count as common-frequency entries, while 90 have definitions. The final letter varies widely, with T ahead but familiar alternatives still competing in this pattern.

At a glance — the C-S letter frame

  • Collins accepts 123 words; ENABLE covers 90 and NWL2023 covers 97.
  • T closes 42 matches, followed by E at 26 and H at 21.
  • CZARISM leads the Scrabble values at 20; three words tie at 18 behind it.
  • The average score is 12.2, lower than the sharply concentrated leaders suggest.
  • Nineteen entries are common-frequency, giving this frame recognizable options alongside specialist words.

What follows the sixth-position S?

The fifth and sixth letters are fixed as S in the sixth-position pair, but the word endings remain surprisingly open. T, E, and H together account for 89 entries; the rest finish in S, M, Y, A, or O. Contest and closest show two different routes to the same slot clue.

CZARISM reaches 20 points, with CZARIST, COZIEST, and COWFISH tied at 18. Those values make Z-heavy spelling stand out, yet ordinary words such as Chinese sit closer to the page’s average score.

How should you use 7-letter words with C first and S sixth?

Tip

The fixed S belongs in slot six, not at the end. Keep that distinction clear when a clue says “contains” versus “ends with.”

Questions people ask

What is the most frequent last letter?
T appears at the end 42 times. E follows at 26 and H at 21; together those three endings cover 89 of 126 matches. That one-third share is the largest single ending group, not a majority. E and H are the next checks to try.
Which word reaches the score ceiling?
CZARISM scores 20 points. CZARIST, COZIEST, and COWFISH form a three-way tie at 18. CZARISM stands alone at the peak. The next three share their value, so a premium square may decide among them.
How much of the set ends in T?
Exactly 42 of 126 entries end in T, or one-third. The other 84 matches have six different final letters. Chinese, contest, closest, and consist supply familiar examples, though less familiar matches remain in the tournament list.
