The fixed pattern collects familiar entries such as SERVICE, SCIENCE, SUBJECT, SURFACE, and SUSPECT, but also less everyday words such as SCHTICK and SAMBUCA. Only 14 entries fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so a tight clue can lead well beyond everyday vocabulary. The sixth letter is fixed, the final letter is not, and definitions are available for 57 entries; dictionary acceptance and everyday familiarity are different tests when an obscure crossing appears.

7-letter words with S as the 1st letter and C as the 6th letter

  • 75 entries match this seven-letter pattern in at least one tournament dictionary.
  • Collins contains 74 matches; NWL2023 contains 50, and ENABLE contains 44.
  • 14 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • SKYJACK leads the scoring list at 27 points; SQUELCH, SQUINCH, and SQUITCH score 21.

How do the final letters break down?

H is the most common final letter, appearing in 25 words; K follows with 20. E appears 11 times and S nine times, while T appears five times. O and Y each appear twice, and A appears once.

That spread makes the sixth-letter clue more useful than guessing the final tile: after placing C in slot six, keep H and K open before testing rarer endings. SERVICE, STOMACH, STRETCH, SCRATCH, and SPINACH show how varied the last letter can be without changing the pattern.

H and K together account for the largest share; the sole A ending is the rarest. A crossing that fixes the final square can narrow the search sharply, but C is never the final letter in this pattern.

Which entries score highest in Scrabble?

For 7-letter words with S as the 1st letter and C as the 6th letter, SKYJACK tops the Scrabble scoring list at 27 points. SHYLOCK reaches 19, so the upper end is packed with Q, X, and K rather than everyday answers.

That is the trap for rack play: an unfamiliar word can outscore a familiar option by a wide margin, while the average score is 14.3. Only 14 entries are common by the frequency measure, and dictionary counts differ: Collins has 74 matches, NWL2023 50, and ENABLE 44. Check your game's word list before playing a regional entry.

Questions people ask

How many of these S-C words are common?
14 of the 75 matches are common by Word Puzzle Answers's frequency measure, which places words among the top 25,000 English words. Familiar examples include SERVICE, SCIENCE, SUBJECT, and SURFACE; many other valid matches are less frequent, so expect some specialized vocabulary.
Does every dictionary accept all 75 words?
No. The combined set has 75 words, but dictionary coverage varies: Collins lists 74, NWL2023 lists 50, and ENABLE lists 44. A word accepted in one tournament list may fail in another, so match each play to the rules used by your game.
What is the average Scrabble score for this pattern?
The average score is 14.3 points. A high tile score still depends on board placement.
