6-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and I as the 3rd letter

POINTS, JOINED, VOICES, and TOILET show the everyday side of this 91-word group. Thirteen matches are common, and the S ending is unusually strong with 31 entries. The score leader, ZOISMS at 17, is far less familiar, a reminder that raw tile value and likely recall do not line up.

At a glance familiar forms and a rare scorer

• Ninety-one matches include 13 common words.
• Thirty-one entries end in S; D is next at 22.
• ZOISMS leads scoring at 17, ahead of 15-point forms.

What endings dominate the set?

POINTS, JOINED, VOICES, TOILET, and POISON are common-looking anchors in this O-I frame. ZOISMS tops the base score list at 17, with YOICKS, HOICKS, and ZOISTS at 15. The unusual leader is a score fact, not a recommendation to play without checking acceptance.

S closes 31 matches, making it the clear leader; D follows with 22 and R with 13. POINTS and VOICES fit the large S group, while JOINED and BOILED show D. Those top two endings cover more than half of all matches, a strong shortcut when the final tile is known.

Collins contains all 91 entries, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include 68 and 72 respectively. The 13 common words give a useful everyday core, but the S-ending cluster is larger than any starting-letter group. With a final S confirmed, prioritize POINTS, VOICES, or NOISES before probing higher-value specialist entries.

NOISES, BOILER, BOILED, and COINED extend the familiar examples beyond POINTS and TOILET. The arrangement has 13 common entries, but none of those makes the S ending inevitable; 60 matches end in something else. Treat the strong ending cluster as a probability cue, then follow confirmed crossing letters.
