The pattern is _ _ _ I _ K: I is fixed in position four, and every match ends in K. SHRINK and UPTICK are easier to recognize; many other results are specialist or uncommon words. Use the examples to test your letter pattern, then sort the remaining candidates by how familiar each one looks.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 25 qualifying six-letter words, and all end in K.
  • SHRINK, UPTICK, SHRIEK, and UPLINK are among the recognizable examples.
  • Only one match falls in the common-word group.
  • Collins includes 23 matches, NWL2023 includes 17, and ENABLE includes 14.
  • TCHICK leads the scoring examples at 17 points.

How many 6-letter words have I fourth and K sixth?

There are 25 words matching _ _ _ I _ K. The starting letters spread across several choices: U begins five matches, S begins four, and A and M begin three each. That makes the middle pattern more reliable than guessing the first letter.

SHRINK and SHRIEK share the opening SHR, but differ at the fifth letter. UPTICK and UPLINK also share their first three letters before splitting. When a clue confirms I in position four, compare the fifth letter before discarding either family.

Which matches score highest, and what is the catch?

TCHICK scores 17 points in the scoring data, ahead of SHTICK, MEDICK, and INWICK at 15 each. UPTICK, MUSICK, and UNPICK score 14 apiece. The unusual opening in TCHICK makes it a strong rack-score candidate, but it is far less familiar than SHRINK.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins accepts 23 of these entries, compared with 17 in NWL2023 and 14 in ENABLE. The totals overlap, so they are not separate groups to add together. Check your game’s word list before relying on a rare form; the 25 matches are not a promise that every app accepts every entry.

For 6-letter words with I fourth and K sixth, solve the pattern first and treat frequency as a separate filter. SHRINK is the lone common match, while the remaining entries include forms such as MUSICK and UNKINK that may be less familiar.

Questions people ask

What are some common words with I fourth and K last?
SHRINK is the only match in the common-word group. SHRIEK, UPTICK, and UPLINK are recognizable examples too, but the pattern’s full set has 25 entries and many are much less familiar. A familiar-looking word still needs to fit the fourth- and sixth-letter positions exactly.
Which word with I fourth and K last scores the most?
TCHICK is the top scorer at 17 points. SHTICK, MEDICK, and INWICK each score 15, while UPTICK, MUSICK, and UNPICK score 14. These scores distinguish letter value, not how often a word appears in everyday writing.
Are all 25 words accepted in every Scrabble dictionary?
No. Collins lists 23 matches, NWL2023 lists 17, and ENABLE lists 14, so acceptance depends on the word list used by your game. Those dictionary totals overlap; they do not represent distinct sets of words. Check the rules for your edition before playing an uncommon entry.
