Seven words carry an X or Z in fifth place, and they take the top scores: UPSIZED, UPSIZES, UNFIXED, UNFIXES, UNMIXED, UNMIXES and UNSIZED. The prefix UN- begins 72 of the 116 words and UP- begins 29. The average of 10.9 shows how far those seven stand out.

What matters in the U _ _ I _ _ _ pattern

  • Dictionary reach: Collins 115 words, NWL2023 78 words, ENABLE 71 words.
  • Only UPRIGHT and UMPIRES rank as common English.
  • Endings: 51 words finish in S and 30 in D, and -ED alone covers 29.
  • UNWI- and UNLI- are the biggest starts with 10 and 9 words.

Which X and Z words top the list?

UPSIZED makes 19, UNFIXED and UPSIZES make 18, and UNFIXES, UNMIXED and UNSIZED make 17. UNMIXES follows at 16, and UNHITCH, UNKINKS and UNPICKS reach 15.

The dictionary changes the picture. UPSIZED and UPSIZES are in NWL2023 and Collins but not ENABLE, while UNFIXED, UNFIXES, UNMIXED and UNSIZED work in all three lists.

Which endings and clusters repeat?

Words ending in -ED number 29, among them UNFIRED, UNHIRED, UNLINED, UNAIDED and UMPIRED. Another 20 end in -ES, such as UPRISES, UPSIDES and UMPIRES, and six finish in -GHT: UPRIGHT, UPLIGHT, UPTIGHT, UNSIGHT, UNDIGHT and UNRIGHT.

In the middle, N is the fifth letter in 21 words and L in 15, ahead of V with 12 and T and R with 11 each. UNLINED and UNWINDS belong to the N group, and UNWIVES to the V group.

Collins-only words are scattered through every group. UNWITCH, UNHIVED, UNGIRTH and UPRISAL are examples, and none of them is a good bet outside a Collins game.

Dictionary warning

Note

ENABLE lacks 45 of the 116 words. Many are Collins-only, such as UNWITCH, UNHIVED, UNGIRTH and UPRISAL, so confirm your list before relying on a rare spelling.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words start with U and have I as the fourth letter?
There are 116. Collins accepts 115, NWL2023 accepts 78 and ENABLE accepts 71. Of the 116, 72 begin UN- and 29 begin UP-, so those two openings explain most of the list.
What is the highest-scoring word with U first and I fourth?
UPSIZED scores 19 points, but it is valid only in NWL2023 and Collins. UNFIXED scores 18 and works in all three major lists, so it is the better play when you cannot check the dictionary.
Which 7-letter U words end in -GHT with I fourth?
Six: UPRIGHT, UPLIGHT, UPTIGHT, UNSIGHT, UNDIGHT and UNRIGHT. UPRIGHT is the only common one, and UNDIGHT and UNRIGHT are Collins-only, so they fail in NWL2023 and ENABLE games.
