This page shows 730 of the 793 words; the finder lists all of them and can copy them as text.

What is in this list

This list holds 793 words, 0.5% of the 172,634 words this site keeps from the ENABLE word list. They run from 2 to 14 letters, and the most common length is 5 letters with 142 words (17.9% of the list). The shortest are AI, BI, HI, LI, MI and PI; the longest are CINQUECENTISTI, PITHECANTHROPI, STREPTOBACILLI and TARSOMETATARSI. Of the 12 lists in this group it is the 5th largest: “words that end in ED” leads with 13,318 and “words that end in J” has the fewest, 7.

Points and vowels

Using this site's letter values, the average word here scores 11.7 points (median 11); words of the same lengths across the whole list average 12.1, so this list runs 0.4 points leaner. The top scorers are KOLKHOZNIKI (33), PAPARAZZI (27), CINQUECENTISTI (26), INTERMEZZI (26). Point for point, HAJJI earns the most per letter: 25 points over 5 letters, 5 each. I itself is worth 1 point here, so the score comes from the other letters.

Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) make up 45.4% of the letters, against 38% across the whole list. 133 words are more than half vowels. Compared with the whole dictionary, the letter most over-represented here is K: 1.6% of the letters, against 0.8% overall.

How the words are built

The letter just before the final I is most often L (14.6% of words), followed by T (11.3%). 171 words have a doubled letter (21.6%); the most common doubles are LL (40), CC (28), TT (27). The most common three-letter openings are CON- (8, as in CONCERTI), CHA- (7, as in CHADRI), CAL- (6, as in CALAMARI).

Word play in this list

The biggest anagram family here is ALIBI and BIALI — 2 words from the same 5 letters. Altogether 7 sets of anagrams sit inside this list, covering 14 words. 2 words turn into another real word when spelled backwards — DEGAMI becomes IMAGED, NORI becomes IRON. The longest word with no letter repeated is CORYPHAEI (9 different letters). GINGILLI is the longest word here that uses only one kind of vowel, ahead of PRINCIPI.

40.6% of these words take an S on the end and stay a word (AALII, ABRI and ADZUKI among them); after S, the most useful end letter is C, which extends 47 words. At the front, O turns 4 words into new ones (BI → OBI); C turns 3 words into new ones (HI → CHI); R turns 3 words into new ones (AMI → RAMI).
