The fixed pair leaves the first letter, and the four letters after S, open. That gives you familiar choices such as HISTORY, DISEASE, MISSION, and DISPLAY, alongside less common tournament words. Just 45 entries fall among the most common English words, so a matching pattern does not guarantee an everyday answer.

The pattern at a glance

There are 428 tournament-listed matches, each with I second and S third.
M is the most frequent first letter, with 147 entries; D follows with 109.
Words ending in S lead the listed final letters at 110, ahead of E at 72.
The average tile score is 11.2 points, while the top examples reach 19.
A definition is available for 335 entries.

Which 7-letter words have I second and S third?

M starts the largest group: MISSING, MISSION, MISTAKE, and MISSING-like forms sit under that opening. D is next, with DISEASE, DISCUSS, DISPLAY, DISPUTE, and DISLIKE among the recognizable matches. Those first-letter counts make M and D smart places to begin when your rack or clue leaves the opening letter unknown.

The final letter offers another useful filter. S is the leading ending, with examples such as SISTERS and TISSUES; E is next, as in DISEASE and DISLIKE. The pattern is not simply a collection of words ending in S: 72 entries end in E, and many familiar examples finish with other letters.

7-letter words with I as the 2nd letter and S as the 3rd letter

For Scrabble scoring, MISKICK, FISHWAY, and FISHIFY each score 19 points before any board bonuses. They are much less familiar than HISTORY or MISTAKE, so a high face value does not make them easy words to spot. The average score across the matches is 11.2 points.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: Collins lists 421 matches, NWL2023 lists 322, and ENABLE lists 307. Those totals overlap, so they should not be added to get the overall 428. Check your game's word list before playing a less familiar entry.

Questions people ask

Is HISTORY one of the seven-letter words with I second and S third?

Yes. HISTORY matches the pattern: its second letter is I and its third is S. It is one of the familiar examples alongside MISSING, MISSION, MISTAKE, and DISPLAY, so the fixed pair does not limit the set to obscure tournament vocabulary.

How many of these words start with M?

There are 147 matches beginning with M, more than any other first letter in this group. MISSING, MISSION, MISTAKE, and MISSILE are examples. D is the next most common opening, with 109 matches.

Why do Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE show different counts?

The dictionaries do not contain identical word lists: Collins has 421 matches, NWL2023 has 322, and ENABLE has 307. Their totals overlap, because some words appear in more than one dictionary. The combined set contains 428 distinct tournament-listed matches.
