Why HIN words matter

Words containing HIN are handy for Scrabble, Words with Friends and word puzzles — filter the list above by length to find the play you need.

A quick statistical tour

The shape of this list: 1225 entries between 3 and 15 letters long, peaking at 8 letters with 239 words. Five-letter picks number 21 and seven-letter picks 113. Nothing here outscores HUZZAHING — 34 points from 9 tiles on plain squares.

The five biggest scorers on the page: HUZZAHING (34), METHYLXANTHINES (33), METHYLXANTHINE (32), HYPOXANTHINES (31), CHINCHERINCHEES (30). The longest entry is AIRWORTHINESSES at 15 letters, and the average word here is worth about 17 points. Letter-wise, N is the workhorse — it appears in 1225 of these words, ahead of H (1225) and I (1225).

Start with these three

ARSHIN — 6 letters for 9 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.
HINTER earns 9 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
RHINAL is easy to keep in memory: 6 letters, 9 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.

Once those stick, file away the next tier too: RHINOS (9), SHINER (9), SHINES (9), TAHINI (9), HINTS (8).

One chunk, many words: HIN

Groups like this one reward a different kind of practice: pick five words of different lengths from the list above, write each in a sentence, and the HIN pattern moves into long-term memory. It is also a quiet Scrabble edge — racks that spell HIN plus common tiles come up constantly, and prepared players cash them in while others shuffle letters.
