7-letter words with K as the 2nd letter and I as the 6th letter

Fourteen tournament-dictionary entries fit this fixed pattern, and none falls within the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The strongest familiar-looking options include SKEPTIC and AKVAVIT, but the set is led numerically by S: ten words begin with that letter, compared with three beginning A and one beginning E. Dictionary coverage varies, so a matching word is not automatically playable in every game.

The pattern at a glance

• Fourteen tournament-dictionary words have K second and I sixth.
• Collins accepts all 14; NWL2023 accepts 10, and ENABLE accepts seven.
• Ten entries start with S, three with A, and one with E.
• C is the most common ending, appearing four times; A, E, and T each appear twice.
• AKVAVIT leads at 17 points; SKEPTIC and SKIMMIA each score 15.

7-letter words with K as the 2nd letter and I as the 6th letter

These 7-letter words begin with S far more often than any other letter: 10 of 14 do. SKEPTIC, SKALDIC, and SKYSAIL show the repeated SK opening; AKRASIA and AKVAVIT are two of the three A-starting choices. EKISTIC is the only E-starting entry.

Final letters are less concentrated: C is the most common ending, with four words, while A, E, and T each close two. The remaining endings are D, L, N, and S, one apiece. Use the last tile as a check when a crossing letter narrows the pattern; the fixed K and I do not determine a single ending.

Which entries score highest, and where are they accepted?

AKVAVIT scores 17 points, ahead of SKEPTIC and SKIMMIA at 15 each; SKALDIC and SKYSAIL follow at 14. Those totals come from the letters, not a premium-square bonus. A board bonus changes the result, so check the placement rather than treating the raw score as the final haul.

Dictionary coverage is the practical catch: Collins includes all 14 matches, while NWL2023 includes 10 and ENABLE includes seven. None meets the common-word cutoff, so this set is better for solving a letter pattern than memorizing everyday vocabulary. Check your game's word list before playing an obscure entry.
