7-letter words with I as the 2nd letter and N as the 4th letter

The pattern is _I_N___: I is fixed in the second slot, N in the fourth, and the other five positions stay open. You’ll see everyday words such as fitness and dinners alongside less familiar entries like lignite and signora. Only 16 matches rank among the commonest English words, so pattern fit matters more than recognition.

How many 7-letter words fit I second and N fourth?

• There are 149 matching words, all seven letters long.
• P leads as the starting letter, with 24 entries.
• S is the most common final letter, ending 66 words.
• Winning, witness, and winners are recognizable matches.
• Biznaga leads the high scorers at 19 Scrabble points.

Which starting and ending letters dominate?

P, S, and L head the starting-letter counts, with 24, 22, and 21 words. That gives you a practical scan order when you know the first tile: try words such as pianist, signing, and lioness before reaching for rarer forms. Those three openers start 67 of the 149 words, which is just under half of the whole pattern.

A final S appears in 66 matches, far more often than any other ending. Winners, sinners, and kidneys show how often this pattern lands on a plural or inflected form; don’t assume every match ends in S, though. G, E, and Y also occur often enough to check.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

Biznaga scores 19 points before board bonuses, ahead of jitneys at 17. Zinnias, lionize, winnock, and finnack each score 16, so the pattern has several premium-letter options beyond its familiar words.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 147 matches, NWL2023 has 104, and ENABLE has 97. A total match count does not mean every game accepts every entry; check your game’s word list before building around an unfamiliar word such as winnock.
