The pattern is _ _ N I _ _, leaving the first two and final two letters open. Examples include MINING, JUNIOR, DENIED, and GENIUS. Of 214 matches, 28 rank among common English words, so familiar options sit beside less familiar entries. Endings help sort candidates while the rest of the clue remains open.

6-letter words with N as the 3rd letter and I as the 4th letter

  • There are 214 matches for the _ _ N I _ _ pattern.
  • SENIOR, FINISH and MINING are recognizable examples.
  • Fifty matches end in S, more than any other final letter.
  • G is the next most common ending, with 36 words.
  • ZENITH and ZANILY lead the scoring examples at 18 points each.

Which endings narrow the pattern fastest?

Start with the last letter: S and G together account for 86 of the 214 matches. S-ending choices include DENIES, DENIALS is too long for this pattern, so try DENIES or ZANIES; G-ending examples include MINING, DINING and ZONING.

The first letter also trims the search. M begins 27 matches and P begins 26, while T starts 19. Try MINING or MANILA when M is confirmed; if P is fixed, PUNISH is a concrete candidate.

Which matches score most, and what should you watch for?

ZENITH and ZANILY are the top scoring examples at 18 points apiece; ZONING scores 16. Those Z words stand out against the average score of 9, but a high tile total does not make a word a likely answer to an everyday clue.

Only 28 of the 214 matches are classified as common, even though 171 have definitions. Expect many unfamiliar entries, and check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar choice.
