The fixed positions create a compact pattern: _ _ C _ _ E _. DECIDED, LOCATED, BECOMES and EXCITED show how familiar verbs fit, while RECOVER and SUCCEED offer different endings and vowel shapes. Counts include words accepted by at least one of ENABLE, Collins or NWL2023, so recognition alone does not guarantee acceptance in every game.

How many 7-letter words have C third and E sixth?

  • 374 entries match the fixed pattern _ _ C _ _ E _.
  • DECIDED, LOCATED, BECOMES and EXCITED are familiar examples.
  • 33 entries fall among the common words in this group.
  • Collins includes 367 matches; NWL2023 includes 267, and ENABLE includes 246.
  • JOCKNEY leads the scoring list at 23 points.

Which words fit the C-and-E position pattern?

Words such as DECIDED, LOCATED, BECOMES, EXCITED and FOCUSED put C in slot three and E in slot six. Their changing first, fourth and final letters narrow a rack or crossing clue. RECIPES, PICKLES and INCOMES show that the pattern also accommodates plural endings.

Only 33 of the 374 matches count as common by our frequency measure, so familiar examples are not representative of every accepted entry. D starts the most words, with 40; R follows with 32, then E with 31.

Which matching words score well in Scrabble?

JOCKNEY scores 23 points on tile values alone, followed by JACKMEN at 22 and JACKLEG and LACQUEY at 21 each, before board premiums. Those spellings are less familiar than DECIDED, but their high-value letters make them standout scoring targets.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins has 367 matching entries, compared with 267 in NWL2023 and 246 in ENABLE. That gap matters in tournament play, so check the word list used by your game before playing an unfamiliar form.

The common-word group is small beside the full set: just 33 entries meet the frequency cutoff. Treat the familiar verbs as starting points, not as a guide to every playable answer.

Questions people ask

Are many 7-letter words with C third and E sixth common?
No; only 33 of the 374 matches count as common. DECIDED, LOCATED, EXCITED and FOCUSED are recognizable examples, but many entries are less familiar. The full set includes words accepted by at least one of ENABLE, Collins or NWL2023.
Which word with C third and E sixth scores the most?
JOCKNEY scores 23 points on tile values alone, the highest score among these matches. JACKMEN follows at 22, while JACKLEG and LACQUEY each score 21. Board premiums can raise a play's total, but these figures compare the words before any premium squares.
Do Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE contain the same matching words?
No; their counts differ for this pattern. Collins includes 367 matches, NWL2023 has 267, and ENABLE has 246. A word accepted in one list may not be accepted in another, so check the dictionary used by your game before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
