Why MIN words matter

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

This list by the numbers

The shape of this list: 1907 entries between 4 and 15 letters long, peaking at 10 letters with 298 words. Five-letter picks number 26 and seven-letter picks 184. Nothing here outscores CYCLOHEXYLAMINE — 37 points from 15 tiles on plain squares.

Chasing points? The best five entries here are CYCLOHEXYLAMINE (37), HYDROXYLAMINES (33), HYDROXYLAMINE (32), PANCREOZYMINS (31), DECRIMINALIZING (30). At 15 letters, ADMINISTRATIONS is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 16. Letter-wise, M is the workhorse — it appears in 1907 of these words, ahead of N (1907) and I (1907).

Start with these three

When the rack looks hopeless, ALUMIN (6 letters, 8 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
AMINES earns 8 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
ERMINE — 6 letters for 8 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.

Five more everyday options from the same list: ETAMIN (8), IMINES (8), LAMINA (8), LIMINA (8), LUMINA (8).

One chunk, many words: MIN

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 MIN pattern moves into long-term memory. It is also a quiet Scrabble edge — racks that spell MIN plus common tiles come up constantly, and prepared players cash them in while others shuffle letters.
