280 five letter words end in I. A strange group, mostly loanwords, and a genuinely weak Wordle bet.
280 words end in I, but only 11 have ever been answers. English doesn't naturally close words with I, almost everything here is borrowed.
RABBI from Hebrew. SUSHI from Japanese. KHAKI from Urdu. CACTI, the Latin-style plural of cactus.
A whole page of loanwords, basically.
Out of 2,315 real Wordle answers, only 11 end in I, 0.5%. One of the weakest showings on this page.
Of the 280 words ending in I, just 11 are real answers, a 3.9% hit rate. All 11 are worth knowing outright: ALIBI, CACTI, CHILI, ENNUI, FUNGI, KHAKI, QUASI, RABBI, RADII, SUSHI, SWAMI.
Don't chase an I ending. The odds just aren't there.
ALIBI. CHILI. KHAKI. RABBI. SUSHI. SWAMI.
All real Wordle answers, and all borrowed words that kept their native spelling.
LAZZI tops the list at 23 points, plural of lazzo, a comic stage routine. HAJJI follows at 22, someone who's completed the pilgrimage to Mecca.
KHAZI comes in at 21, British slang for a toilet. A scrabble word finder will pull up all three, though you'll rarely draw the letters to build them.
TI- leads at 30 words, RI- close behind at 28. Then LI- with 24, AI- with 20.
A thin group overall, so these four openings cover a big share of what's here.
Almost every word in this group is a loanword. English just doesn't naturally end words in I.
