5-letter words with S as the 1st letter and I as the 2nd letter

SI gives you a firm opening, but the rest of the word varies widely: familiar choices include SINCE, SIGHT, and SITES, while SIXTH, SIZED, and SIXTY lead the score chart. Just 21 entries count as common English words, so the full set is much broader than everyday vocabulary. Use the fixed letters first, then narrow by the ending or game.

The SI pattern at a glance

• The set contains 101 tournament-dictionary entries with SI in positions one and two.
• Only 21 entries qualify as common words by frequency.
• Thirteen entries appear in the Wordle answer list.
• The Wordle allowed-guess list contains 100 matching words.
• S is the most frequent final letter, ending 37 of these words.

How common are SI words, and which are Wordle entries?

Twenty-one of the 101 matches fall among common English words; SINCE, SITES, SIDES, SIGNS, and SIGHT are recognizable examples. The rest include less familiar forms such as SILVA, SIZAR, and SIZEL, so a familiar-looking pattern does not guarantee an everyday word.

Wordle’s answer list contains 13 matches, while its allowed-guess list contains 100. The answer count is the narrower figure for solving; the larger guess count gives you more possible probes. The examples do not identify which named words are answers, so use the game’s feedback rather than assuming a particular example qualifies.

SIXTH, SIZED, and SIXTY each score 15 points, making them the top tile-score examples here. SIZES, SIZER, SICKY, SIZAR, SIZEL, and SIXMO score 14. The strong scores come from valuable letters such as X and Z, not from the repeated SI opening.

For a clue with a known final letter, test S first: 37 words end in S, compared with 10 ending in R. That imbalance is a practical filter when your board or puzzle fixes the last tile. The full set combines tournament dictionaries, so do not assume every entry is accepted in your particular game.
