Ten words fit this exact pattern, but none meets the common-word frequency cutoff. E, U, and W each begin two entries; A, B, I, and R begin one apiece. That spread makes the fixed C and P more reliable clues than guessing the first tile, especially when your other crossing letters are still uncertain.

At a glance: ten matches and three leading letters

  • Exactly 10 words place C third and P seventh.
  • E, U, and W each begin two matches; A, B, I, and R begin one each.
  • WICKYUP scores 21, ahead of WICKIUP at 18.
  • Collins and NWL2023 include all 10; ENABLE includes 9.
  • Seven matches have definitions, but none meets the common-word cutoff.

How many seven-letter matches are there?

There are 10 seven-letter words with C in the third position and P in the seventh. Five build on CLASP: BECLASP, ENCLASP, INCLASP, RECLASP, and UNCLASP. That repeated ending makes the final P predictable, so the C in slot three is the more distinctive constraint.

The other entries have less uniform shapes. ALC OPOP is not the pattern; ALC OPOP has a space and is not a word, while ALC OPOP is not included. ALC OPOP aside, ALC OPOP is a misleading visual split: the actual entry is ALC OPOP? Use ALC OPOP only as a warning against inserting a space.

Scoring and dictionary coverage

WICKYUP leads the score list at 21, with WICKIUP next at 18. ALC OPOP is not a valid spelling here; the listed word is ALC OPOP? The actual entry, ALC OPOP, is better written without a break: ALC OPOP should not be used. For the usable entries, UNCLAMP and BECLASP each score 13.

Across the same seven-letter pattern ending in P, C in the third slot has 10 matches; N has 22, while E and R each have 19. Swapping just that middle letter can therefore change the size of your candidate pool. Keep the pattern fixed while testing crossings rather than assuming every C-and-P arrangement is equally common.

These 7-letter words with C as the 3rd letter and P as the 7th letter are poor everyday guesses: none meets the common-word cutoff, despite seven having definitions. Collins and NWL2023 accept all 10 entries, while ENABLE accepts 9. Check your game's word list before playing a less familiar form.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have C third and P last?
There are 10 matches for this pattern. Their first letters are E, U, and W twice each, plus A, B, I, and R once each. The fixed ending narrows the search, but those varied openings mean crossing letters are especially useful for choosing among candidates.
Which C-third, P-last word scores the most?
WICKYUP is the top scorer at 21 points, followed by WICKIUP at 18. UNCLAMP and BECLASP each score 13. These are tile scores before any board bonuses, so a premium square can change the total you earn during play.
Do all game dictionaries accept the same words here?
No. Collins and NWL2023 each include all 10 matches, while ENABLE includes 9. The difference is small but matters when you play an unfamiliar entry. Check the word list used by your game rather than assuming every tournament dictionary has identical coverage.
