The pattern fixes an S in slot two and a C at the end, leaving the first letter to narrow your choices. A, P, O, and I account for every match, but only one word in the set ranks among the 25,000 most common English words by frequency. PSYCHIC is the standout familiar example and the top scorer.

Which 7-letter words have S second and C last?

  • Fourteen tournament-dictionary words match S in position two and C in position seven.
  • PSYCHIC leads the scoring list at 19 points.
  • Only one match meets the common group.
  • Five matches begin with A, four with P, three with O, and two with I.
  • All 14 words end in -IC, from PSYCHIC to OSMATIC.

Which matching word scores the most?

PSYCHIC is the clear scoring outlier: its 19-point total beats ISTHMIC at 14, PSALMIC at 13, and OSSIFIC at 12. The high-value letters make it a strong play, and its familiar spelling makes it easier to recognize than many entries.

ASCETIC, OSMOTIC, PSIONIC, ASEPTIC, ASCITIC, and OSMATIC each score 11. That cluster gives you a practical middle: compare these before reaching for ISTHMIC or PSALMIC when your rack lacks the letters in PSYCHIC.

The dictionary coverage is not identical: Collins includes all 14 matches, NWL2023 includes 12, and ENABLE includes 11. The full set will not transfer intact across every tournament list, so check your game's dictionary before keeping an unfamiliar form.

How can you narrow this letter pattern?

Lock in the C at position seven, then test the S in position two. Five slots remain open, but the starting letters are not evenly spread: A leads with five matches, followed by P with four, O with three, and I with two. Those four groups cover all 14 results.

That distribution gives you a quick exclusion rule: a first letter outside A, P, O, and I cannot fit this exact pattern. PSYCHIC, ASCETIC, and OSMOTIC are easy examples to recall; ASTELIC, ISMATIC, and PSOATIC are less familiar alternatives.

Seven-letter words with S as the 2nd letter and C as the 7th letter make a narrow clue set, not a general word bank. For a different final letter, compare the S-second lists ending in A, D, or E, or browse the seven-letter hub for broader options.

Questions people ask

Are all 14 words accepted in every word game?
No, the dictionaries differ: Collins has 14 matches, NWL2023 has 12, and ENABLE has 11. Words such as PSOATIC may be unfamiliar, so confirm it against the word list used by your game. The pattern itself does not guarantee acceptance in every app or tournament.
Which S-second, C-last word has the highest score?
PSYCHIC is the top scorer at 19 points. ISTHMIC follows at 14, then PSALMIC at 13 and OSSIFIC at 12. ASCETIC, OSMOTIC, PSIONIC, ASEPTIC, ASCITIC, and OSMATIC form the next scoring group at 11 points each.
Are any of these words common?
Only one match falls within the common group. PSYCHIC, ASCETIC, and OSMOTIC are recognizable examples, but the other entries include less familiar forms such as ASTELIC and PSOATIC. Familiarity alone does not determine whether a game dictionary accepts a word.
