7-letter words with C as the 3rd letter and I as the 4th letter

The fixed middle letters still leave a varied set: SOCIETY and ANCIENT are familiar, while CACIQUE is the top scorer. Only 13 entries fall among the most common English words, so expect plenty of less everyday plays. The opening letter varies widely, with A and D tied as the most frequent starts.

Which endings dominate this C-I pattern?

S is the clear leader: 36 of these words end in S. D, L, and R each close 10 words, while E and T each finish 8, which makes the final letter a quick way to narrow a partly solved pattern. Openers are spread over eight letters: E starts 13 words and R starts 12.

Several familiar S-ending examples are inflected forms: DECIDES, RECIPES, EXCITES, and RECITES. The D-ending group includes DECIDED and RECITED. Don’t assume every match is a plural just because S is the leading final letter; it also catches verb forms.
