Eight words place C second and I third, and the first box narrows to a near two way choice.
ACIDS, ICING and SCION are the three in general use. ICIER and ICILY follow straight from icy and are easy to produce once you see the shape.
Both end in ING and both sit in this group. Only the first box separates them, which makes them the sharpest trap on the page once you have the last three letters.
A opens four of the eight and I opens three, leaving one for S. So the opening letter is close to a two way decision.

ICING is far more common in ordinary use. ACING is valid but you would only reach for it inside a puzzle.
A descendant of a notable family, and also a shoot used for grafting plants. Both senses are in current use.
The plural of acinus, a small sac in a gland. It is anatomy vocabulary rather than something you would guess at.
It is a valid adjective form of acid, though acidic is far more usual. Short Y forms like it fill out a good part of this group.
