Every word in this list has five letters and contain both I and N. We count 632 of them, with 347 in common use. The score shown on each chip uses classic tile values, so ZINKY at 21 points is the one to remember when a premium square is open. Words with their own page, such as INDEX, link through to a full breakdown of the shorter words hidden inside them.
How to use this page
Start by scanning the common words at the top; they are the ones most likely to be accepted and remembered. Then check the quick facts for the highest-scoring options. If you have a rack in front of you, the search box applies this page's constraint to your letters and returns only what you can play.
Tips
The list puts common words first for a reason: they are the ones an opponent is least likely to challenge and the ones you will remember next time. When two plays score about the same, prefer the common word. Save the rare entries for situations where they are clearly better, such as a triple-word square that only an obscure word can reach. If you are learning vocabulary or solving a puzzle for a newspaper, stick to the very common words marked with a dot; they are the ones the setter almost certainly had in mind.
Questions
Which five-letter words containing both I and N are the most common?
INDEX, JOINS and JOINT are among the most familiar. The list is sorted with everyday words first, and the very common ones carry a small dot, so you can read the top of the page and skip the obscure entries at the bottom.
Can I search this list with my own letters?
Yes. Type your letters into the search box at the top of the page, using a question mark for a blank, and the tool will show only the five-letter words containing both I and N you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
