This page shows 1,375 of the 12,553 words; the finder lists all of them and can copy them as text.

What is in this list

This list holds 12,553 words, 7.3% of the 172,634 words this site keeps from the ENABLE word list. They run from 4 to 21 letters, and the most common length is 9 letters with 2,293 words (18.3% of the list). The shortest are DING, KING, LING, PING, RING and SING; the longest is OVERINTELLECTUALIZING. Of the 12 lists in this group it is the second largest: “words that end in ED” leads with 13,318 and “words that end in J” has the fewest, 7. 11 words that would also fit were left out by this site's blocklist of slurs and explicit words.

Points and vowels

Using this site's letter values, the average word here scores 17.4 points (median 17); words of the same lengths across the whole list average 16.3, so this list runs 1.1 points richer. The top scorers are HYPOPHYSECTOMIZING (44), SUBJECTIVIZING (41), OVERCOMMERCIALIZING (39), OVERINTELLECTUALIZING (39). Point for point, JAZZING earns the most per letter: 32 points over 7 letters, 4.6 each. ING itself is worth 5 points here.

Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) make up 34.8% of the letters, against 38% across the whole list. 17 words are more than half vowels.

How the words are built

The letter just before the final ING is most often T (20.8% of words), followed by L (10.8%). 3,347 words have a doubled letter (26.7%); the most common doubles are LL (555), TT (418), EE (354). The most common three-letter openings are OVE- (296, as in OVERABSTRACTING), OUT- (283, as in OUTACHIEVING), MIS- (222, as in MISACTING).

Word play in this list

The biggest anagram family here is CRATERING, RECRATING, RETRACING and TERRACING — 4 words from the same 9 letters. The longest pair of anagrams is BOARDSAILING and SAILBOARDING, at 12 letters. Altogether 477 sets of anagrams sit inside this list, covering 993 words. The longest word with no letter repeated is TROUBLEMAKING (13 different letters). DISINHIBITING is the longest word here that uses only one kind of vowel, ahead of WHIPSTITCHING.

9.5% of these words take an S on the end and stay a word (ACCOUNTING, ACTING and ADVERTISING among them); after S, the most useful end letter is Y, which extends 9 words. At the front, S turns 253 words into new ones (ADDLING → SADDLING); P turns 186 words into new ones (ACING → PACING); C turns 100 words into new ones (ACHING → CACHING).

Using this list

To narrow it further, open it in the pattern finder: the rule “ends in ING” is already filled in, and you can add a length, a fixed letter position or letters to leave out.
