7-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and D as the 6th letter

The fixed shape is _ C _ _ _ D _. That narrow pattern gives you ten choices, from familiar-looking words such as ACCORDS and OCCLUDE to less common plays like ECHARDS. Most entries end in S, and two words share the top score.

The C-and-D pattern at a glance

• Ten seven-letter words place C second and D sixth.
• Collins accepts all 10 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each accept 9.
• Only one entry is classed as common.
• Six words end in S, three end in E, and one ends in O.
• ECHARDS and SCHRODS lead the scores at 13 points each; seven entries have a recorded definition.

Which words fit these fixed positions?

The ten matches are ACCORDS, SCREEDS, OCCLUDE, ECOCIDE, ACARIDS, ACCENDS, ECHARDS, SCALADE, SCALADO, and SCHRODS. ACCORDS, OCCLUDE, ECOCIDE, and SCREEDS make recognizable anchors; ECHARDS and SCHRODS sit at the top of the score list.

The position pattern cuts down a broad search quickly: keep C in slot two and D in slot six, then test the remaining letters. The ending gives another useful filter. Six candidates take S, while only one takes O, so a known final S narrows the choice to the largest group.

For a rack search, treat the two fixed letters as anchors rather than guessing a whole word at once. Check whether the other five letters can complete a match, then compare the final tile with the S, E, and O ending groups. ECHARDS and SCHRODS are the top scorers, but both still need the right rack letters.

This pattern is unusually tight beside nearby searches: the same seven-letter pattern with E second and D sixth has 106 matches, compared with 10 here. Only one of these ten is common, so the set works better as a constraint-solving shortlist than as everyday vocabulary. Check your game’s word list before committing.
