That fixed K-I pattern is a narrow search: the matching words account for only 34 entries, and just 4 are classified as common. Familiar choices such as KINETIC, KINSHIP, and KREMLIN sit alongside less familiar forms. The final letter offers another clue: S, N, and C lead the endings.

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

  • The pattern matches 34 seven-letter words in the combined tournament-dictionary count.
  • Only 4 matches are classed as common, so many entries will be unfamiliar.
  • S is the most frequent final letter with 11 words; N follows with 8, then C with 7.
  • KAMOTIQ tops the score list at 22, ahead of KIMCHIS at 18.

Which words stand out in the K-I pattern?

KINETIC, KINSHIP, KREMLIN, and KINGPIN are recognizable options to scan for first. Each fits the same frame: K begins the word, and I occupies the sixth position. KASHMIR and KERATIN add other familiar-looking possibilities.

The less familiar end of the set includes KAMOTIQ, KOWHAIS, and KIPSKIN. Those entries matter when a clue pins down the pattern but a familiar guess fails; the small common-word count means ordinary vocabulary alone will not cover every match.

Endings sort the list quickly. N finishes KREMLIN, KINGPIN and KERATIN, while C finishes KINETIC, KARSTIC and KENOTIC. S is the biggest group, with 11 words including KIMCHIS and KOWHAIS.

What do scores and dictionary coverage show?

KAMOTIQ leads the recorded scores at 22, while KIMCHIS scores 18. KOMATIK, KABIKIS, KABUKIS, KIPSKIN, KOWHAIS, and KAMOTIK each score 17. The average across the matches is 14.7, so the top score stands well above the group average.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: ENABLE has 25 matches, Collins has 31, and NWL2023 has 28. A word accepted in one list may be absent from another, so check your game's dictionary before relying on an obscure entry.

Questions people ask

How many common words fit K first and I sixth?
Four matches are classified as common. KINETIC, KINSHIP, and KREMLIN are recognizable examples in the set, but the common-word count is still small compared with all 34 matches. Expect less familiar possibilities when a puzzle requires the same letter positions.
Which word in this pattern has the highest score?
KAMOTIQ is the highest scorer at 22 points. KIMCHIS follows at 18, and six words score 17: KOMATIK, KABIKIS, KABUKIS, KIPSKIN, KOWHAIS, and KAMOTIK. Actual board bonuses can change a play's total.
Are all 34 words valid in every word-game dictionary?
No, dictionary coverage varies. ENABLE contains 25 matches, Collins contains 31, and NWL2023 contains 28. The 34-word total counts entries found in at least one of those tournament dictionaries, so check the word list used by your game.
