Seven words put O first and C third, and only one of them is in everyday use. The rest are narrow.

Why O First and C Third Comes Down to OCCUR

OCCUR is the one word here you would meet in ordinary writing. It is also the only one that doubles the C, which makes it unusually easy to identify.

N takes the second box in three of the seven and R in two. Those two branches hold most of the page, but neither contains a word most people would produce unprompted.

What Follows OCCUR on the O and C Page

ORCAS is the next most reachable, being the plural of the whale. ONCES and ONCER come off the same stem and both are word game entries rather than everyday vocabulary.
