A Quiz
Other than beginning with T, what do the following four letter words have in common?

TILE
TINS
What if I told you a hint? These words also share in common something with this non-word: TALS*.
The answer follows.
They are all good four letter back extensions for QUIN-.
QUINTAIN
QUINTALS
QUINTANS
QUINTARS
QUINTETS
QUINTICS
QUINTILE
QUINTINS
I was looking at this list of back extensions for QUIN. There are quite a few of them.
QUINS, QUINT
QUINCE, QUINIC, QUININ, QUINOA, QUINOL, QUINSY, QUINTA, QUINTE, QUINTS
QUINARY, QUINATE, QUINCES, QUINELA, QUININA, QUININE, QUININS, QUINNAT, QUINOAS, QUINOID, QUINOLS, QIONONE, QUINTAL, QUINTAL, QUINTAN, QUINTAR, QUINTAS, QUINTES, QUINTET, QUINTIC, QUINTIN
QUINCUNX, QUINELAS, QUINELLA, QUINIELA, QUININAS, QUININES, QUINNATS, QUINOIDS, QUINOLIN, QUINONES, QUINSIES, QUINTAIN, QUINTALS, QUINTANS, QUINTARS, QUINTETS, QUINTICS, QUINTILE, QUINTINS
It's not really a long list if you take out all of the plurals. If you really want a fun time, look at the hooks up to twelve letters. How fun would it be to bingo off of someone who laid down QUINT by adding -ILLIONS or -ESSENCE?
