This is a compact pattern: every match ends in C, and only two entries rank among the most common English words. The list ranges from familiar choices such as ENDEMIC and ANGELIC to specialized forms such as ENZYMIC and GNATHIC. Dictionary coverage also varies, so a word accepted in Collins might not appear in every North American game.
The pattern at a glance
- There are 17 tournament-dictionary matches, and every one has C in the final position.
- Seven words begin with E and six begin with A; those two first letters account for most of the set.
- Only two matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so many entries are specialist vocabulary.
- Collins includes all 17 words, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 13.
Which words are familiar, and which score highest?
ENDEMIC and ANGELIC are the easiest entries to recognize: endemic describes something native to or concentrated in a place, while angelic means angel-like. GNOSTIC and ENTERIC are also in the set, but their subject-specific meanings make them less likely everyday guesses. The average score is 11.2 points.
ENZYMIC tops the scoring list at 23 points, with its Z and Y supplying much of the value. GNATHIC and UNCOMIC follow at 13 each, then ENDEMIC at 12. For a seven-tile Scrabble play, the 50-point bingo bonus can outweigh a modest face-value total; keep an eye on rack use, not just the premium letters.
7-letter words with N as the 2nd letter and C as the 7th letter
The opening letter is a better first filter than the final C: seven matches start with E, six with A, and only two with G. Try ENDEMIC, ENTERIC, or ENZYMIC when E is available; ANGELIC and ANIONIC fit the A group. O and U each contribute just one match.
Collins has four more entries than either ENABLE or NWL2023, so some candidates will fail in games using those narrower lists. Treat this as a pattern shortlist, not a promise that every word works in every app. Compare nearby patterns if your known letters change: the N-second, D-final set is much larger.
