5-letter words with I as the 4th letter and N as the 5th letter

The fixed ending is -IN, leaving three open slots before it. That structure yields familiar anchors such as AGAIN, TRAIN, BRAIN, BEGIN, CHAIN, and PLAIN. Yet ZAYIN and SOZIN also fit, so a pattern match is not automatically a practical play in every game.

• ZAYIN scores 17 points, the highest score among these entries.

Which matching words work for Wordle?

Twenty-two entries are both Wordle answers and tournament-dictionary words, out of 112 allowed guesses matching this pattern. Those answer matches are a subset, not a guarantee that every allowed guess is an answer. Only 27 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

AGAIN, TRAIN, BRAIN, BEGIN, and CHAIN give you familiar anchors. The first letters most often represented are S, R, and L; try those openings first when the first tile remains unknown, then test the board's other constraints. For the same I-in-fourth pattern, S-ending words total 160, more than N-ending words.

Which matches score well, and where are they accepted?

The neighboring fourth-letter patterns are close in size: O has 114 matches, just two more than I; A has 111, one fewer; E has 103. Changing one middle tile barely alters the pool, so use the other known letters to narrow choices instead of guessing from the total alone.

ZAYIN is the standout at 17 points, ahead of QUOIN and SOZIN at 14. TOXIN, AUXIN, and KYLIN each score 12; CHAIN scores 10. The average is 7.4, so high-value letters lift the top while familiar options score less.

Collins accepts 110 matches, compared with 91 in NWL2023 and 82 in ENABLE. The 112 5-letter words with I as the 4th letter and N as the 5th letter span the tournament lists, but no single game is guaranteed to accept every entry. Check your game's dictionary before relying on an uncommon scorer.
