Every word in this list has five letters and contain both C and D. We count 163 of them, with 104 in common use. The score shown on each chip uses classic tile values, so CODEX at 15 points is the one to remember when a premium square is open. Words with their own page, such as CHILD, link through to a full breakdown of the shorter words hidden inside them.

How to use this page

Use this list in two ways. Browse it to learn the words that contain both C and D, common ones first, or search it by typing your own letters, with question marks for blanks, to see only the words you can make. Every word shows its classic tile score, and linked words open a page with all their sub-words.

Tips

Hooks are single letters added to the front or back of an existing word to make a new one, and they are the cheapest way to score in a crowded game. Look through the words on this page for ones that become a different valid word with one more letter, or that can be formed by extending a shorter word already on the board. Suffixes such as S, ED, ER and ING, and prefixes such as RE and UN, do most of the work. A hook lets you play a second word in parallel and collect both scores.

Questions

Which five-letter words containing both C and D are the most common?

CHILD, CODED and ACTED are among the most familiar. The list is sorted with everyday words first, and the very common ones carry a small dot, so you can read the top of the page and skip the obscure entries at the bottom.

Can I search this list with my own letters?

Yes. Type your letters into the search box at the top of the page, using a question mark for a blank, and the tool will show only the five-letter words containing both C and D you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
