See the difference.

CREEK
C comes first, and the two Es are together.
PEACE
The Es are in positions 2 and 5; C is fourth.
EMCEE
Three Es still satisfy the two-E minimum.

Keep the letter counts; leave the order open.

Include EEC asks for two copies of E and one copy of C somewhere in the whole word. It does not ask for the consecutive string EEC. CREEK, PEACE and EMCEE satisfy the same counts with different arrangements.

Open this list in Known positions to place a confirmed C or E in its numbered box. Already placed letters count toward the requirement, so a C in box 1 plus Include EEC still needs one C in total. The other positions remain open.

These matches can use any letters in the remaining positions. If you have exactly five available tiles, switch to Letters to words and enter all five, including duplicates. That searches a rack instead of a minimum-letter constraint.

Does C have to be at the start?

No. CREEK starts with C, EMCEE has C in position 3, and PEACE has C in position 4. This list allows C anywhere. Put C in box 1 in Known positions when the first position is confirmed.

Does EEC mean those three letters appear in that order?

No. It means at least two Es and at least one C across the word. Their order and adjacency are unrestricted. To require a consecutive sequence, place its letters in neighboring numbered boxes.
