The fixed ending makes these words easy to spot, but only a small slice is familiar in everyday English. CRISIS, TENNIS, THESIS and DEBRIS are recognizable examples; many of the remaining entries are specialist terms or less common forms. The counts also vary by tournament dictionary, so a match for the pattern does not guarantee acceptance in every game.

At a glance: 269 words, few familiar choices

There are 269 six-letter entries with I in position five and S at the end.
Only 8 entries fall within the common-word group, a small share of the total.
CRISIS, TENNIS, THESIS and DEBRIS are among the recognizable examples.
A definition is available for 198 entries, leaving many less familiar choices.
Collins includes 256, NWL2023 173 and ENABLE 135; those dictionary counts overlap.

Which 6-letter words have I fifth and S sixth?

Start with CRISIS, TENNIS, THESIS, DEBRIS and MANTIS when you want likely familiar candidates. The first-letter counts lean toward C, with 27 words, followed by T with 25 and P with 24. That spread gives you a practical search order if you have not solved the opening letters.

For Scrabble points, HAJJIS leads the score list at 23, followed by KHAZIS at 22 and BWAZIS at 20. Those are much less familiar than CRISIS, so high value comes with a recognition trade-off. Keep them in mind when the board offers a strong placement, rather than treating them as likely everyday answers.

What should you check before playing one?

The 269-word total combines entries found in at least one of ENABLE, Collins or NWL2023; it does not mean every game accepts all 269. The dictionary totals differ substantially, especially between Collins at 256 and ENABLE at 135. Check your game's word list when a less familiar entry matters.

Eight common words out of 269 is the key limitation: many matches are unlikely to come to mind from the pattern alone. For a nearby ending, compare words with I fifth and R last, or I fifth and T last. The exact target phrase is 6-letter words with I as the 5th letter and S as the 6th letter.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words end in IS with I fifth?

There are 269 six-letter words with I in the fifth position and S in the sixth. CRISIS, TENNIS, THESIS and DEBRIS are familiar examples; only 8 entries are classed as common, so many matches are specialized or uncommon.

Which word with I fifth and S last scores the most?

HAJJIS is the top scorer at 23 points. KHAZIS follows at 22, and BWAZIS scores 20. These high-value options are less familiar than CRISIS or TENNIS, so confirm that your game accepts the word before committing.

Are all 269 words accepted in every word game?

No. The total counts words appearing in at least one of ENABLE, Collins or NWL2023, and the dictionaries have different coverage. Collins contains 256 matches, NWL2023 has 173 and ENABLE has 135, so acceptance depends on the word list your game uses.
