Dictionary searching for kanji readings and words

$

everyone, thanks for having me!So, i’ve just started studying kanji and vocabulary and searching for words and readings on dictionaries (Japanese app).However some cross information between my study platforms and dictionaries are slightly different from each other and its quite confusing for me to understand and set a pattern for how to read properly, for example;In my studies i read that in 入り口 means entrance, therefore i would assume that the reading of 入 would be い.In the dictionary says that 入り口 is the same as 入口 which would mean that the reading is in fact いり. I found that very confusing, whats the reason to add り in between 入 and 口? What is the actual reading for 入 in this situation ?Also, in the Japanese dictionary, neither り or いり are listed as kun’yomi or on’yomi readings, but instead i only found いり listed as nanori reading, which i thought that was used only for names.
