This page shows 1,410 of the 3,783 words; the finder lists all of them and can copy them as text.

What is in this list

This list holds 3,783 words, 2.2% of the 172,634 words this site keeps from the ENABLE word list. They run from 3 to 23 letters, and the most common length is 8 letters with 599 words (15.8% of the list). The shortest are ARC, DOC, HIC, LAC, MAC and MOC; the longest are ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHIC and MICROSPECTROPHOTOMETRIC. Of the 12 lists in this group it is the third largest: “words that end in ED” leads with 13,318 and “words that end in J” has the fewest, 7. 4 words that would also fit were left out by this site's blocklist of slurs and explicit words.

Points and vowels

Using this site's letter values, the average word here scores 16.3 points (median 16); words of the same lengths across the whole list average 16.5, so this list runs 0.2 points leaner. The top scorers are ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHIC (38), PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGIC (38), LYMPHANGIOGRAPHIC (36), MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC (36). Point for point, QUIXOTIC earns the most per letter: 26 points over 8 letters, 3.3 each. C itself is worth 2 points here, so the score comes from the other letters.

Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) make up 38.8% of the letters, against 38% across the whole list. 108 words are more than half vowels. 1 word has none of them at all, leaning on Y instead — for example SYNC. Compared with the whole dictionary, the letter most over-represented here is H: 3.9% of the letters, against 2.3% overall.

How the words are built

The letter just before the final C is most often I (96.2% of words), followed by A (2.1%). 259 words have a doubled letter (6.8%); the most common doubles are LL (93), MM (38), RR (30). The most common three-letter openings are NON- (93, as in NONACADEMIC), ANT- (69, as in ANTAGONISTIC), HYP- (63, as in HYPERAESTHETIC).

Word play in this list

The biggest anagram family here is HYPNOTIC, PHYTONIC, PYTHONIC and TYPHONIC — 4 words from the same 8 letters. The longest pair of anagrams is MICROPHOTOGRAPHIC and PHOTOMICROGRAPHIC, at 17 letters. Altogether 72 sets of anagrams sit inside this list, covering 148 words. It contains 1 palindrome, read the same both ways: CIVIC. 4 words turn into another real word when spelled backwards — ETIC becomes CITE, MARC becomes CRAM, SERAC becomes CARES, SPEC becomes CEPS. The longest word with no letter repeated is DERMATOGLYPHIC (14 different letters). PRIMITIVISTIC is the longest word here that uses only one kind of vowel, ahead of DYSRHYTHMIC.

19% of these words take an S on the end and stay a word (ACADEMIC, ACATALECTIC and ACOUSTIC among them); after S, the most useful end letter is K, which extends 33 words. At the front, A turns 46 words into new ones (BIOGENIC → ABIOGENIC); C turns 6 words into new ones (ANTIC → CANTIC); S turns 6 words into new ones (EPIC → SEPIC).

Using this list

To narrow it further, open it in the pattern finder: the rule “ends in C” is already filled in, and you can add a length, a fixed letter position or letters to leave out.
