6-letter words with F as the 1st letter and I as the 2nd letter

The FI opening covers a broad mix: everyday words like FIGURE and FINISH sit beside less familiar plays such as FIZZEN and FIQUES. Of the 133 tournament-dictionary entries, 32 rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. That makes familiar options easy to spot, but the full set still has plenty of specialist vocabulary for word games.

At a glance: the FI pattern

• There are 133 six-letter entries with F first and I second.
• FIGURE, FINISH, FILLED, FIELDS, and FINGER are familiar examples.
• The set has 32 common words and 107 entries with definitions.
• FIZZED leads the scores at 28 points; FIZZLE, FIZZES, FIZZER, and FIZZEN each score 27.
• The average score across the pattern is 12.3 points.

Which endings show up most often?

S is the leading final letter: 38 of these words end in S. Examples include FIELDS, FINALS, FIGHTS, and FIZZES, so an S at the end narrows the pattern without making it rare.

E comes next with 17 entries, including FIGURE, FIZZLE, and FINALE. D accounts for 16, with FILLED, FILMED, and FITTED among the recognizable choices. Those three endings together cover more than half the list.

Where do high scores come from?

The biggest scores cluster around Z: FIZZED is worth 28 points, while FIZZLE, FIZZES, FIZZER, and FIZZEN each bring 27. That shared spelling is a useful scoring clue: a Z-heavy option can beat a familiar word such as FIGURE, even when both fit the same opening.

Dictionary coverage varies across the 6-letter words with F and I in the first two spots: 131 appear in Collins, 102 in NWL2023, and 95 in ENABLE. The counts overlap, so they are not separate groups to add together. Some entries will not work in every game; check your game's word list before playing.
