7-letter words with I as the 1st letter and P as the 3rd letter

The pattern locks in I-P with one open letter between them, and many matches begin IMP. Familiar choices include IMPROVE and IMPOSED, but only 13 of the 66 words are classed as common. The endings are uneven too: S is far ahead of every other final letter, making it a useful clue when the first three letters are already known.

• Collins accepts 66 matches; ENABLE lists 59, and NWL2023 includes 60.

Which I-P words score highest in Scrabble?

A rack containing IMPEACH is worth 16 points before board premiums. IMPAVID, IMPARKS, and IMPAVED each total 15, beating more familiar options despite their less familiar forms.

Six entries sit at 14 points: IMPROVE, IMPIETY, IMPROVS, IMPAWNS, IMPHEES, and IMPOWER. The common IMP start groups them neatly, but their final four letters call for different rack tiles.

Base values are only part of a play. A premium square changes the total, so compare the available placement before choosing IMPEACH or another high-value candidate.

How do the endings narrow your choices?

A final S appears in 25 matches; E occurs in 11, and D in 10. IMPACTS and IMPLIES illustrate the leading ending, while IMPROVE and IMPOSED cover the next two.

Only 13 matches are common, so the fixed I-P opening does not guarantee familiar vocabulary. These 7-letter words with I as the 1st letter and P as the 3rd letter have different dictionary coverage too: Collins has seven more than ENABLE.
