About this word list ▼ About this word list ▲

The letter combinations oi and oy are used to represent the same sound in different words. For example, oil and coin have the oi pattern, while boy and joy use oy.

When spelling words with oi or oy, make sure you use the correct combination:

If the /oi/ sound falls in the middle of a word, use the letters oi to spell it.

If the /oi/ sound falls at the end of a word, use the letters oy to spell it.

Be aware of exceptions, such as in oyster, coyote, and the past tense forms of verbs that end in oy like enjoyed or deployed.

Try out our pattern-recognition games like Bouncing Anagrams to help you make sure you get the letters in the right order.
