About 7-letter words starting with IS

Every word here is exactly 7 letters with is locked into the first slot. Ranked 137 of 164, "is" is an unusual opening. A short list like this is close to an answer on its own.

A two-letter opening is a real unit of English rather than two separate tiles. Onsets are constrained: plenty of letter pairs never begin a word at all, so once you have confirmed two, most of the dictionary is already gone. Inside this set, the letter sitting immediately next to the fixed pair is most often O (40), A (4), L (4).

People search this one both ways round, as seven letter words starting with is and as is words 7 letters. Both mean the same thing, and this is the list. If the length is wrong, the sibling lengths are below.

Quick answers

How many 7-letter words starting with is are there?

57 of them, out of 33,296 seven-letter words, or about 0.2% of the length. Ranked 137 of 164, "is" is an unusual opening. A short list like this is close to an answer on its own.

Why does this page only cover 7-letter words?

Because a length and an opening together are what you usually know. If you need a different size, the list below moves "is" to the other lengths that have enough words to be worth a page. Dropping the length entirely gives you every word starting with I instead.

What usually comes next in these words?

The letter just inside the fixed pair is most often O (40), A (4), L (4). A two-letter opening is a real unit of English rather than two separate tiles. Onsets are constrained: plenty of letter pairs never begin a word at all, so once you have confirmed two, most of the dictionary is already gone.

Do you have a page for every two-letter opening?

No, and deliberately so. A pair only gets a page when at least 35 seven-letter words share it. Below that the list is too short to be worth a visit, so we send you to the single-letter list instead.

Are proper nouns or abbreviations included?

No. Only standard dictionary words appear, which matches what Wordle, Scrabble, and crossword grids accept. A missing word is almost always a name, a hyphenation, or an abbreviation.
