5-letter words with M as the 3rd letter and A as the 4th letter

The pattern fixes the middle pair as MA, leaving the first two letters and final letter open. HUMAN and WOMAN are familiar examples, but only 3 entries rank among common English words. The rest range from recognizable terms such as NOMAD to less familiar forms, so a matching pattern alone does not guarantee a word will be accepted in your game.

The pattern at a glance

• The pattern has 77 tournament-dictionary matches.
• ZAMAN leads the scoring list with 16 points.
• Only 3 matches rank among common English words.
• A final S is most frequent, appearing on 31 words.
• The answer list for Wordle includes 4 matches; 76 matches are allowed guesses.

Which final letters are most common?

S and N dominate the endings: 31 words finish in S, and 19 finish in N. L comes next with 9, followed by R with 6. Only 3 end in E, another 3 in H, and 2 in D; C appears just once.

The first letters spread out more evenly. C starts 9 matches, while A, R, and S each start 8. Familiar examples include HUMAN, WOMAN, and ROMAN, but the pattern also produces less everyday forms such as AMMAN and ZAMAN.

5-letter words with M as the 3rd letter and A as the 4th letter

For a Wordle guess, the 4 answer-list matches sit within a larger set of 76 allowed guesses. Those counts describe different roles: an allowed guess can test the MA pattern without being an answer. The five-letter shape narrows the search, but it does not identify a likely solution by itself.

ZAMAN scores 16 points, ahead of AXMAN and LIMAX at 14 each. Dictionary coverage also varies: ENABLE lists 47 matches, NWL2023 lists 54, and Collins lists 75, while the combined tournament-dictionary total is 77. Only 3 words are common, so check your game's word list before relying on an obscure entry.
