Use ? for unknowns

Seventeen words put B first and C third, and only vowels appear in the second box. That single restriction does most of the narrowing for you.

Only Vowels Open the Second Box in B and C Words

O takes five words, A and U take four each, and E and I take two apiece. No consonant appears there across the whole seventeen, so the second box is a choice between vowels and nothing else.

The Recognisable End of the B and C List

BACON, BACKS, BICEP and BUCKS are the words here you would actually use. BECKS and BOCKS are reachable but uncommon.

K dominates the fourth box with six of the seventeen, thirty five percent, and C follows on five. Between them that is most of the page, so the fourth box is where this pattern really divides.

Doubled Letters in B and C Words

Five words repeat a letter and every one of them doubles the C. BACCA, BACCY, BOCCA, BOCCE and BOCCI are the group, and none is a word you would produce unprompted.

That makes a visible double useful in the opposite way to usual. It tells you the answer is almost certainly one you have never heard of.
