6-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and I as the 5th letter

This frame has 55 matches, four marked common and 41 marked defined. C leads the opening letters with 14, followed by H and M at 10 each. The endings split mainly between C and D, a useful detail when the last square is still unknown.

At a glance the pattern and its strongest clues

• There are 55 matches with Y second and I fifth.
• C begins 14; H and M each begin 10.
• Four are marked common; 41 are marked defined.
• ZYMOID scores 21, the leading value.
• C ends 17 words and D ends 14.

Which first letters open the strongest branches?

C starts 14 matches, including CYCLIC, CYSTIC, CYCLIN, and CYANIC. H and M each begin 10, with HYBRID, HYDRIC, MYTHIC, MYOPIC, and MYELIN among their examples. P contributes six, while the remaining openings are smaller.

Those three leading groups cover 34 of the 55 words. Use the opening tile as a sorting clue, then compare the fifth position; HYBRID and MYTHIC show how different middle letters still satisfy the same frame.

More on 6-letter words

C is the most frequent ending at 17, with D close behind at 14. N accounts for eight, S for seven, A for five, and E for four. ZYMOID leads the score list at 21, ahead of ZYGOID at 20 and MYXOID at 19.

Four matches are marked common, so this is still a specialist-heavy group despite familiar words such as HYBRID and EYELID. If the final tile is unknown, C and D together cover 31 candidates. Check less familiar entries against your game list before committing.

The A-second, I-fifth pattern has 321 matches, while this Y pairing has 55; H-second has 65, close to this set. That comparison shows how selective Y is here despite familiar examples. Start with the larger C, H, and M branches.

The examples span several opening families, so the fixed positions do more work than a single prefix. Use C, H, and M as the first branches, then scan smaller groups only if those starts fail.
