7-letter words with E as the 1st letter and C as the 4th letter

E at the opening and C in slot four yield 60 matches, including a noticeable ELECT- cluster: ELECTED, ELECTRO and ELECTOR. Nine entries are classed as common. The ending distribution is close at the top, with E on 13 words and S on 12.

What stands out in this pattern

• 60 entries match E in slot one and C in slot four.
• ELECTED, ELECTRO and ELECTOR share a recognizable opening family.
• Thirteen end in E; twelve end in S.
• EXACTLY scores 19; EXOCARP and EXACUMS score 18.

Examples and dictionary coverage

D and R each finish ten words, so the three leading endings account for most of the visible shape without dominating it. EJECTED and EVICTED bring another repeated structure, while EXECUTE and EDUCATE show the fixed C inside different verb forms. Average score is 12.2.

The five- and six-letter siblings have 20 and 29 matches, so the seven-letter frame expands that family to 60. The fixed C still leaves room for several recognizable constructions, from the repeated EJECT- forms to EXECUTE and EDUCATE.

Collins contains 57 entries, NWL2023 42 and ENABLE 39. A candidate such as EXACTLY is easy to recognize, while EXOCARP is less likely to surface without a rack pattern. The list is broad enough to reward checking the center before choosing an ending.

EXACTLY is a strong anchor because its spelling is familiar and its score leads the group. The three ELECT- examples give another route through the pattern, while EJECTOR and EJECTED add a separate repeated stem. These families help you scan without assuming all matches share a suffix.
