Why VIN words matter

Words containing VIN 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: 507 entries between 4 and 15 letters long, peaking at 8 letters with 87 words. Five-letter picks number 15 and seven-letter picks 73. Nothing here outscores PROVINCIALIZING — 32 points from 15 tiles on plain squares.

The five biggest scorers on the page: PROVINCIALIZING (32), PROVINCIALIZED (31), PROVINCIALIZES (30), PROVINCIALIZE (29), DISAPPROVINGLY (26). The longest entry is ARIBOFLAVINOSES at 15 letters, and the average word here is worth about 15 points. If you are fishing for these words, keep V (507 appearances), N (507) and I (507) on your rack.

Start with these three

When the rack looks hopeless, ALEVIN (6 letters, 9 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
ALVINE earns 9 points from just 6 tiles — and it is a word few opponents will bother to challenge.
LEVINS — 6 letters for 9 points; every tile in it is a common draw, so it shows up rack after rack.

Round out your set with OVINES (9), RAVINE (9), RAVINS (9), SAVINE (9), SAVINS (9) — all built from common tiles.

Learning words through VIN

Letter chunks like VIN are how vocabulary compounds: learn the pattern once and every word built on it gets easier to recall and to spell. Read down this list and you will see the same rhythm repeat across lengths — that repetition is exactly what makes these words stick for spelling bees, ESL study and crossword pattern-matching alike.
