Three in four words in the set begin with IM-, which is why implementations, improvisational and impressionistic sit near the top of the alphabet. A, E and O supply 12, 10 and 6 words. S closes 82 and Y 11, and only implementations counts as everyday English.

Fifteen-letter M-second words at a glance

  • 117 fifteen-letter words put M in second place.
  • IM- opens 88 of them.
  • A adds 12, E 10 and O 6.
  • 18 words start with IMMUN-.
  • S closes 82 and Y 11.
  • Empyreumatizing leads the scores at 34.

IM- opens 88 of the 117 words

If a 15-letter answer has M in second place, it almost certainly begins IM-. Implementations, improvisational, impressionistic and impossibilities all take that shape.

The remaining 29 words split across AM-, EM-, OM- and a single SM- entry. Ambassadorships, emancipationist and embryologically keep the older Latin forms in play. Those three words look nothing alike beyond their first two letters.

That single SM- entry is a curiosity rather than a pattern, and the O group is barely bigger at 6 words, so AM-, EM- and OM- are worth a glance only when an IM- guess fails.

M is only the twelfth-commonest second letter at this length, well behind E at 1,013, N at 852 and O at 803, so the group stays small and its openings stay predictable.

The IMMUN- block

  • 18 words start with IMMUN-.
  • Immunoglobulins, immunodeficient and immunocompetent cover the medical core.
  • Immunochemistry, immunopathology and immunomodulator stay in the laboratory.
  • Immortalization, immobilizations and immaterializing take IM- without the immun- root.
  • Immeasurability and imperishability close out the IM- spellings.

Tip

Empyreumatizing tops the scores at 34 points, then immunocomplexes on 32 and aminophenazones on 31. Only implementations is a common word, and 85 of the 117 entries have a dictionary definition.
