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

This fixed pattern leaves a compact set, and its opening letters are unusually lopsided: 48 entries begin with S. Familiar choices such as SCHOLAR and SCOOTER sit beside rarer tournament vocabulary, so the count is more useful for checking a clue than guessing everyday words. Collins includes all 57 matches, while NWL2023 accepts 43.

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

• There are 57 matches in Collins, and NWL2023 includes 43 of them.
• ENABLE includes 39 matches, fewer than either Collins or NWL2023.
• SCHOLAR, SCOOTER, and SCANNER are recognizable examples of the SC pattern.
• SCYTHER, SCOFFER, and SCUFFER share the top Scrabble score at 15 points.
• Only 4 matches rank among the most common English words by frequency.

Why do most matches start with S?

S dominates the opening position: 48 of the 57 words begin with SC. That makes the SC sequence the first place to look when a puzzle gives you both the second letter and the final R.

The other starts are much less frequent. Seven words begin with A, while just one begins with E and one with O. If your candidate starts with a different letter, this pattern does not fit.

Which matches are easiest to recognize?

SCHOLAR, SCOOTER, SCANNER, and SCATTER are among the more familiar options. The frequency count tells a different story, though: only 4 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words, so many entries are less likely to come to mind during a quick solve.

The dictionary counts also differ: Collins has 57 entries, compared with 43 in NWL2023 and 39 in ENABLE. A word that fits the letters may still be absent from your game’s accepted list, so check that list before challenging a result.

Which words score highest in Scrabble?

SCYTHER, SCOFFER, and SCUFFER each score 15 points before board bonuses. Their unusual letter combinations make them stronger choices for a score-focused play than familiar words such as SCHOLAR.

SCHEMER and SCHMEAR are close behind at 14 points each. Keep the final R in place as you compare options; a high-scoring word that misses either fixed letter will not solve this pattern.
