Words starting with R, then C, then U, then S, ending in E

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

Near misses
  • rabbit doesn't fit: it starts with R but ends with T, not E.
  • rabble doesn't fit: it has the right ends but no C in the middle.
  • reassurance doesn't fit: it has every letter of RCUSE but they don't appear in order inside it.
