Words starting with C, then E, then R, ending in A

39 words fit this spine. They're all listed below. They start with C, end with A, and contain E then R in that order in between — not necessarily side by side.

Near misses
  • caballero doesn't fit: it starts with C but ends with O, not A.
  • canasta doesn't fit: it has the right ends but no E in the middle.
  • credenza doesn't fit: it has every letter of CERA but they don't appear in order inside it.
