7-letter words with P as the 2nd letter and I as the 5th letter

The fixed letters leave five positions to solve, and the matches span familiar words such as OPENING, OPINION, and SPECIES. Collins lists all 97 matches; ENABLE has 69 and NWL2023 has 72. Only 11 qualify as common by frequency, so expect a mix of everyday vocabulary and tournament-oriented entries rather than a list of routine guesses.

7-letter words with P as the 2nd letter and I as the 5th letter

• There are 97 matches, and their fifth letter is always I.
• SPECIAL, OPENING, OPINION, and SPECIES are recognizable examples.
• S starts 45 matches, more than any other first letter.
• The most common final letter is G, with 25 words ending that way.
• APPRIZE leads the Scrabble scores at 20 points.

Which words fit this letter pattern?

The first-letter spread is lopsided: S begins 45 matches, U begins 20, and A begins 15. That makes S the quickest branch to test when your other known letters leave the opening tile uncertain. SPECIFY and SPATIAL show how varied the S group can be.

Endings offer another way to narrow the search. G leads with 25 words, followed by S with 20; E accounts for 11, while R and T each account for 9. OPENING lands in the largest group, while SPIRITS and SPECIES illustrate the strong S ending.

Familiar entries do not dominate the whole set: only 11 matches are common by our frequency measure, although 78 have definitions. Collins contains 97, compared with 72 in NWL2023 and 69 in ENABLE, so a game using a narrower lexicon can reject some otherwise listed choices.

Which matching words score the most?

APPRIZE scores 20 in Scrabble, ahead of SPECIFY, EPOXIDE, EPOXIED, and OPACIFY at 17 each. Those point totals make the less familiar entries worth checking when a board rewards a high-value letter; OPINION and SPECIAL are easier to recognize, but they do not top the scoring list.
