Nine five letter words begin with IO, and more than half of them run IOD.

The IOD Shape Dominates

D takes about fifty six percent of the third box. N, R and T account for one entry each, and that is the whole page.

The IO Words in General Use

IONIC and IOTAS are the two entries a player would name. The IOD forms are chemistry spellings for iodine compounds rather than everyday words.

  • IONIC
  • IOTAS
  • IODIC
  • IODIN
  • IODID

Guess IONIC first. If the N misses, IOTAS is the only other entry outside the chemistry group, so the page resolves in two turns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the IOD words fair answers

They are real chemistry spellings and they sit in the list, but whether a puzzle would use one depends on the word list behind it.

Does IONIC repeat a letter

Yes, it uses I in the first and third boxes. That repeat is worth noticing because nothing else here does it.

What is IOTAS

The plural of iota, the Greek letter, used in English to mean a very small amount. It is the second most usable entry here.
