7-letter words with I as the 2nd letter and C as the 6th letter

A C near the end leaves only one letter after it, and 75 tournament-list words match that frame. FINANCE, SILENCE and DIVORCE are easy anchors; ZIPLOCK and AIRLOCK reveal a different route into the same pattern. The last position is unusually concentrated, with K closing 33 entries.

Seven-letter words with I second and C sixth at a glance

• There are 75 matches, including 53 with definitions.
• ZIPLOCK is the highest scorer at 24 points.
• ZIMOCCA scores 22; MISKICK and BIBCOCK score 19 apiece.
• K is the last letter in 33 words, versus S in 15.

Which words make the pattern easiest to see?

FINANCE, SILENCE and DIVORCE put ordinary vocabulary first, with the required C just before the final letter. DIALECT adds a clean consonant ending, while GIMMICK shows how a doubled middle consonant can occupy the frame. These examples make good checks against a partially filled grid.

ZIPLOCK and AIRLOCK both finish in CK, and K is the final letter for 33 of the 75 matches. S is a distant second at 15. If the last square is open, K deserves an early trial, but the common words also include endings such as E and H.

What scoring and dictionary limits matter?

ZIPLOCK leads at 24 points; ZIMOCCA is next at 22, followed by MISKICK and BIBCOCK at 19. The latter spellings are less familiar than FINANCE, so score lists are best used as a prompt to verify a candidate, not as proof that every opponent’s word list accepts it.

Only seven entries meet the common-word cutoff, despite 53 having definitions. That gap matters when you need a word quickly: start with recognizable examples, then consult your chosen game list for the specialist tail. The pattern suits crosswords and letter-placement games.
