This is a broad pattern with 585 matches, more than the other P-start frames in this set. Its familiar core includes PLAYING, PROVIDE, PARTIES, PROFILE, PROMISE, PORTION and PARKING. Sixty-one entries meet the common-word measure, and POZZIES leads scoring at 27 points.

Pattern snapshot for p 1st and i 5th letter

  • The P-first, I-fifth pattern contains 585 words.
  • G ends 159 entries; S closes 136.
  • Sixty-one matches are in the common-word group.
  • POZZIES scores 27, five above PIXYISH at 22.

How can you narrow the large P-I set?

Start with recognizable branches: PLAYING and PLACING, PROVIDE and PROFILE, PARTIES and PASSION, then PORTION and PROMISE. Because P is fixed at the start and I occupies position five, those examples show how much the first four tiles can vary before the shared I appears.

G is the most frequent ending at 159, with S next at 136; E and R follow at 67 and 62. The leading pair is close enough that the last tile matters, but neither ending overwhelms the set. Sixty-one common words provide a solid first pass through the 585 candidates.

A practical pattern check

Tip

Sort by the first three letters or a familiar prefix, then use the fifth I as a position check. Test G and S endings early, but do not discard E or R when the rack points there.

Do the highest scorers belong to the common core?

POZZIES reaches 27 points, followed by PIXYISH at 22. PECTIZE, PEPTIZE, PERJINK and PREJINK each score 20. Those entries contrast with everyday words such as PROVIDE and PROFILE, so high scoring points toward rarer vocabulary rather than the easiest clue answer.

Four hundred seventy-three words have definitions, but only 61 meet the common-word measure. That makes this broad list useful for both ordinary vocabulary search and advanced board play, with a clear familiarity gap between the two. The five- and six-letter relatives are much smaller pools at 21 and 157 matches.

What final letter is most common in this pattern?
