7-letter words with I as the 1st letter and E as the 6th letter

The pattern is I _ _ _ _ E _, so the sixth position narrows the search while leaving four letters open in the middle. Among the examples are past-tense verbs such as IMPOSED and INDUCED, plus nouns such as INSIDER and INMATES. The counts cover words present in at least one tournament dictionary, not every spelling found in general word lists.

7-letter words with I as the 1st letter and E as the 6th letter

• The pattern has 189 tournament-dictionary matches.
• Twenty-five matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• INVITED, INJURED, and IGNORED are recognizable examples.
• The average tile score is 10.7 points.

Which matching words are familiar or high-scoring?

Start with ordinary words if you are solving a clue: INVITED, INJURED, IGNORED, IMPOSED, and INDUCED all fit the pattern. IMPLIES and IMPLIED are another useful pair, differing only in their final letter.

For a score-focused play, IMMIXED leads the high-score examples at 19 points. IODIZED, INFIXED, IXNAYED, IMMIXES, and INVEXED each score 18. These are less everyday choices than INVITED, so check the word list used by your game before building a play around one.

How does this pattern compare across word lists?

The matches are not identical across tournament dictionaries: Collins includes 185, NWL2023 includes 163, and ENABLE includes 149. Those counts overlap, so do not add them together. A word accepted in one list may not be accepted in another.

The sixth letter is a strong filter: only 72 six-letter words use I first and E sixth, compared with 189 matches at seven letters. Final letters vary sharply too: 77 matches end in S, 59 in D, and 40 in R.

For a pattern clue, keep the fixed letters in place and test the open positions against your rack. The 7-letter words with I as the 1st letter and E as the 6th letter include 157 words with definitions, but the full set is not a list of common everyday vocabulary.
