Which W-and-C words score highest?

HAWBUCK tops the Scrabble letter-score ranking at 21 points. BAWCOCK earns 20, DAWCOCK 19, and COWLICK, SAWBUCK, and SOWBACK each score 18. Those unusual words beat the more familiar REWATCH and BEWITCH on raw tile value.

The endings divide cleanly: eight entries finish with K and four with H. That makes the final tile a quick sorting clue when you already know the pattern. REWATCH and BEWITCH give you recognizable H-ending options; COWLICK and SAWBUCK are examples ending in K.

Score rank is not the same as board value: a letter multiplier or a word multiplier changes the points you actually earn. HAWBUCK leads on its listed tile score, but its best play depends on the squares available and game acceptance.

• HAWBUCK leads at 21 points, ahead of BAWCOCK at 20.
• Eight matches end in K; four end in H.
• REWATCH and BEWITCH are familiar H-ending examples.

How to solve the W-third, C-sixth pattern

Lock the known letters into slots three and six, then check the last letter. A K ending leaves eight candidates across the full set, while an H ending leaves four. That split narrows the search before you test the remaining spaces.

For a familiar starting point, try REWATCH or BEWITCH; for a high-scoring candidate, consider HAWBUCK. This is a narrow, mostly uncommon group rather than a list of everyday vocabulary, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

• Fix W in slot three and C in slot six before testing blanks.
• Check the final slot first: eight candidates end in K, four in H.
• Try REWATCH or BEWITCH for familiar options; HAWBUCK scores 21.
