Center letter C (required in every word) · Outer letters: A, B, E, K, M, O

A Saturday Bee built around the center letter C: 30 words, 104 points in total and Genius at 72, with one pangram, COMEBACK at the top of the list. The CO- family alone contributes 12 of the 30 words, more than any other family on the board. The words themselves run from 4 to 8 letters in length, short and quick to spot once the CO- words start falling.
