The IC Words Worth Knowing

ICONS and ICING are the two entries in common use. ICILY, ICHOR and ICIER follow them, though none is a word most players reach for.

What Else the IC List Holds

Several entries are technical terms and one is a command name rather than a word at all, so the usable list runs to about five.

That is a third of the count, which is a better ratio than the very smallest pages manage but still well short of the number on offer.

Opening an IC Puzzle

ICONS is the guess to start with. It is much the most common entry and its O, N and S cover three high frequency positions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ICING or ICONS the better guess

ICONS. ICING repeats its I, which costs a box, and its G and N are less useful than the S ending ICONS tests.

Is ICHOR a real word

Yes, it names the fluid said to run in the veins of the Greek gods. It is real but rare enough to be a last resort.

Why does I lead the third box

ICI and ICE shapes account for most of what English builds on this opening, and the I forms slightly outnumber the rest.
