Strategy for this list

C is worth 3 in Scrabble and starts one of the largest slices of the dictionary (~7,000 words). C's real value is in clusters — CR-, CL-, CH-, SC- and -TION openings (many spelled -CTION) all rely on a C somewhere in the front half. High-value C-plays include CZAR, CRAZY, CROAK. In Wordle, C is a strong opening letter because it confirms one of the most common consonant clusters. Two-letter C-words are limited — CH and CH-related sets appear in CSW only — so most C-strategy focuses on three-letter and up.
