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

TOBACCO, TACTICS, TERRACE, TROPICS, TENANCY, and TAPIOCA are recognizable entries in this pattern. Their final letters differ, but each has C in the sixth slot. That fixed position is the quickest check when a rack or puzzle clue gives you only scattered letters to work with.

After S and K, E and H each finish 6 matches. If your known final letter is one of those four, you can sort the pattern into a smaller group before testing the middle letters. TACTICS and TROPICS both close in S, while TOPKICK and TOMBACK both close in K.

Which matches score the most?

TOPKICK tops the scoring examples at 19 points; TOMBACK reaches 17. TRAJECT and TOWSACK each score 16, while TIEBACK and TRIPACK are worth 15 apiece. These scores make unusual spellings worth a second look when your rack needs a high-value play.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins has 46 matches, NWL2023 has 30, and ENABLE has 28. Familiarity is no guarantee of acceptance across games, and most entries are not common words. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar scorer.
