The pattern fixes D in the middle of the opening and C at the very end, leaving a small pool of 11 candidates. Endemic and medevac are recognizable starting points; several other matches are much less familiar. Dictionary coverage also varies, so a word that fits the spaces may still fail in your game.

At a glance: a narrow dictionary split

  • Collins accepts all 11 matches, while ENABLE accepts 7 and NWL2023 accepts 8.
  • Four words begin with E, led by examples such as endemic, ecdemic, and eidetic.
  • Three entries begin with P; medevac and medivac account for two of the M-starting matches.
  • Only one entry meets the common-frequency threshold, so most candidates are specialized vocabulary.

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

Jaditic leads the score list at 17 points; medevac and medivac each score 15. The group averages 12.9 points, making its scoring profile stronger than its modest size might suggest.

Jaditic is the standout scorer, but the less familiar spellings deserve a check before you commit. Nine matches have definitions available, while just one falls in the common-frequency group. Verify an uncertain candidate against your game's word list; the fixed letters alone do not establish dictionary acceptance.

How should you work this pattern?

Lock D into the third square and C into the final square before testing the other letters. Then try familiar anchors such as endemic, hedonic, and eidetic. If those do not fit your rack, compare medevac with medivac rather than assuming the two spellings share the same dictionary status.

The main trap is treating the pattern as a clue to common vocabulary: only one match is common by frequency, and several entries are specialized. Jaditic offers the top score, but its unfamiliarity makes it a poor guess when you have no confirming letters. For a broader search, the related seven-letter patterns with another third or final letter give you a larger comparison set.

Questions people ask

Which matching word scores the most?
Jaditic is the highest scorer at 17 points. Medevac and medivac follow at 15 points each, while ecdemic scores 14. Those are base word scores; board bonuses can change the total, so compare the rack value with the available premium squares before playing.
How many of these words are common?
Only one of the 11 matches falls in the common-frequency group. Endemic is a more recognizable example than many of the specialized entries, but frequency is not a dictionary ruling. A valid play still depends on which word list your game uses.
Are all 11 words accepted in the same dictionaries?
No. Collins includes all 11, compared with 7 in ENABLE and 8 in NWL2023. The counts show why a candidate can fit the D-third, C-last pattern yet be rejected in a particular game. Check that game's dictionary when an unfamiliar word decides the play.
