The fixed pattern is _I___S: I sits in slot two and S closes every answer. Familiar matches include lights, fields, limits, and nights, while the full set spans Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE. Only 62 entries rank among common English words, so expect a mix of everyday plurals and specialist vocabulary.

The pattern at a glance

  • 602 entries match _I___S across at least one tournament dictionary.
  • Collins includes 589 matches; NWL2023 includes 453; ENABLE includes 407.
  • 62 matches fall in the common-word group.
  • Rights, cities, videos, pieces, and lights are familiar examples.

6-letter words with I as 2nd and S as 6th letter

This group is smaller than several nearby patterns: A in slot two yields 1,063 matches, and O yields 902. The I pattern still edges R in slot two, which has 583, so it is not a tiny corner of the six-letter search.

Start with likely opening letters when narrowing the grid. P leads at 56 entries, just ahead of L at 55; M follows with 47, while S has 44. That close P–L split is a useful clue: if the first tile is unclear, test both before spending guesses on less common initials.

The final letter changes the size of this pattern sharply. With I fixed in slot two, an ending D has 293 matches, R has 275, and E has 266; S is more productive at 602.

Which matches are worth checking for points?

For 6-letter words with I as 2nd and S as 6th letter, ZIZZES tops the scoring list at 33 points; FIZZES, HIZZES, and WIZZES each score 27. PIZZAS reaches 26, but it is the most familiar-looking high scorer among those examples. The average is 10.3, so the top end is an exception, not a typical play.

Many recognizable matches are plurals: rights, cities, videos, pieces, and lights all end with an S that marks more than one. Still, the pattern is not a plural-only rule: circus also appears among the examples. Check your game's dictionary before relying on an unfamiliar form.

Questions people ask

How many common words have I second and S last?
There are 62 common words among the 602 matches. Rights, cities, videos, pieces, and lights are familiar examples; many less common entries are specialist forms. “Common” means the word falls within the top 25,000 English words by word-frequency ranking, not that every game accepts it.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
ZIZZES is the top scorer at 33 points. FIZZES, HIZZES, and WIZZES each score 27, with PIZZAS at 26. Those totals make unusual Z-heavy or double-Z words attractive on a premium square, but the average match scores 10.3, so ordinary plays rarely reach that range.
How do the dictionary counts compare?
Collins contains 589 matches, compared with 453 in NWL2023 and 407 in ENABLE. The counts overlap because a word can appear in several lists; they should not be added to get the 602-word combined total. Each dictionary therefore gives a different-sized subset of this pattern.
