6-letter words with I as the 4th letter and I as the 6th letter

That repeated-I pattern has a small, uneven vocabulary: only 2 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Familiar examples include bikini, gemini, panini and tahini, but less familiar entries make up much of the set. Dictionary coverage also differs, so an accepted word in one game may not work in another.

• There are 37 matches, and every one ends in I as well as placing I in slot 4.

Which examples are easiest to recognize?

Bikini, gemini, panini and tahini are familiar examples that fit the pattern exactly. Other recognizable choices include nigiri, surimi, rotini and wapiti, giving you several different openings to test while keeping both I positions fixed.

The gap between 37 total matches and just 2 common words is a clue that many entries are specialized or unfamiliar. Smriti, samiti, ragini and yogini show why a pattern match is not automatically a word you will know or be allowed to play.

How can you narrow the pattern for a word game?

WAKIKI is the top scorer at 17 Scrabble points, ahead of KABIKI at 16. MOKIHI and PAKIHI each score 15, while KOKIRI scores 14. These less familiar entries carry the strongest totals in the scoring examples.
