7-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and C as the 3rd letter

A double C narrows the search sharply: these words have C in both the second and third positions. Most begin with A, and familiar entries such as ACCOUNT and ACCUSED sit beside less common plays like ACCOMPT. The collection also differs by dictionary, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

7-letter words with C as the 2nd and C as the 3rd letter

• 39 matches appear across the tournament dictionaries.
• Collins has 39 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each have 24.
• 35 words begin with A, while 3 begin with O and 1 with E.
• Only 8 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• ACCOMPT tops the scoring examples at 15 points.

Which examples are easiest to recognize?

ACCOUNT, ACCUSED, ACCEPTS, and ACCENTS are among the more recognizable choices. Their shared opening makes the pattern easy to spot: after the first letter, the next two tiles are both C.

The A-heavy start is striking: 35 matches begin with A, compared with 3 starting with O and just 1 with E. OCCLUDE and OCCIPUT show that the pattern is not limited to words beginning with A.

How should you use the double-C pattern?

For a board play, consider the whole word rather than assuming a familiar-looking opening is valid everywhere. Collins lists 39 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 list 24 each; ACCOMPT, ACCOYED, and ACCO​​YLD lead the score examples at 15 points.

Most matches end in S, D, E, or T: 13 finish with S, 7 with D, 7 with E, and 6 with T. That makes the final tile a useful check when crossing a clue: 13 S endings against 7 each for D and E make S the first ending to test.

7-letter words with C as the 2nd and C as the 3rd letter are a narrow pattern, not a broad everyday vocabulary set.
