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

The fixed letters leave five open slots, but this pattern has a compact set of answers. Familiar options include stomach, stretch, and attract; the less familiar ataxics leads the scoring list. Five of the 13 words rank among common English words, so the matches range from everyday vocabulary to specialist entries.

At a glance: the T-second, C-sixth pattern

• 13 seven-letter words match the pattern, with T in slot two and C in slot six.
• Stomach, stretch, and attract are recognizable examples among the matches.
• Ataxics scores 16 points, ahead of stomack at 15 and stomach at 14.
• Six words start with S, while five start with A.
• Six matches end in S; stretch, stomach, and staunch end in H.

Which words fit the pattern?

Stomach and stretch are useful anchors when checking the letter positions: each has T second and C sixth. Attract follows the same pattern, even though its final letters differ. Those familiar words sit beside entries such as italics, statics, atomics, and ethnics.

The opening letters cluster tightly: six matches begin with S and five with A, leaving just ethnics and italics to start with E and I. The endings show a similar tilt: six finish in S, including ataxics, atomics, and statics. Stretch, stomach, and staunch all finish in H.

How strong are these matches for word games?

Ataxics is the top scorer at 16 points, with stomack next at 15; stomach scores 14. Stretch, staunch, and ethnics each score 12. The average score across the matches is 11.2, so the top two stand out rather than representing the whole group.

Collins lists all 13 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 11. Not every entry is accepted in every game, so check the word list your game uses before relying on an obscure option such as stomack. The pattern is also narrower than the neighboring seven-letter lists with A or E in the second position.
