This page lists every one of the 149 five-letter words containing both C and Y in our dictionary. Each word links to its own unscramble page when one exists, and the score badge shows its value with classic tiles. Common words come first, so CRAZY, LUCKY and FANCY sit near the top while the rare entries wait further down. If you are holding a specific rack, type it into the search box and the list narrows to the words you can actually play.
How to use this page
Use this list in two ways. Browse it to learn the words that contain both C and Y, 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
The list puts common words first for a reason: they are the ones an opponent is least likely to challenge and the ones you will remember next time. When two plays score about the same, prefer the common word. Save the rare entries for situations where they are clearly better, such as a triple-word square that only an obscure word can reach. If you are learning vocabulary or solving a puzzle for a newspaper, stick to the very common words marked with a dot; they are the ones the setter almost certainly had in mind.

Why are some of these words unfamiliar?
