A second-position C and sixth-position E create one of the larger patterns in this batch: 175 words fit. Accused, schemes, screwed, and scarlet are familiar examples, though only 14 qualify as common-frequency. The endings cluster heavily around D, R, and S.

At a glance — the C-E letter frame

  • Collins includes 173 matches, ENABLE has 105, and NWL2023 has 115.
  • D is the final letter for 70 words; R and S each account for 50.
  • SCRUZED leads the score list at 19, followed by SCRUZES at 18.
  • SCOFFED, SCUFFED, and SCYTHED each score 16.
  • Fourteen entries are common-frequency, far fewer than the 138 with definitions.

Which endings follow sixth-position E?

The final letter pattern is striking: D, R, and S cover 170 of 175 matches. D leads, while R and S tie at 50 each; L, N, and T account for the five exceptions. That three-way ending map is a practical first filter after the fixed E is confirmed.

The 19-point leader SCRUZED sits among unusual spellings, while familiar SCARLET, SCANNER, and SCATTER offer lower-friction candidates. The top score and likely recognition point in different directions here.

How should you use 7-letter words with C second and E sixth?

Tip

Use the final slot as a high-value clue: nearly every candidate ends D, R, or S, but do not infer the ending from the sixth E.

Questions people ask

How are the final letters distributed?
D closes 70 entries, while R and S each close 50. L appears three times; N and T occur once apiece. The three leaders account for all but five entries. A final L, N, or T is rare enough to deserve a careful crossing check.
Which word scores highest?
SCRUZED reaches 19 points and SCRUZES 18. SCOFFED, SCUFFED, and SCYTHED each score 16. SCRUZED edges out an already uncommon set of score leaders. Consider tile placement before treating the base value as the whole play.
Do Collins and NWL2023 cover the same count?
No. Collins lists 173 matches and NWL2023 lists 115; ENABLE includes 105. Check the active game dictionary before using an unfamiliar entry. Those counts differ substantially, so an obscure match accepted in one list may fail in another. Verify the active rules before playing.
