5-letter words with M as the 4th letter and E as the 5th letter

The pattern is _ _ _ M E, so every match ends in E and places M immediately before it. Familiar options include crime, prime, blame, theme, and frame. The count draws from tournament dictionaries, whose coverage differs: 35 matches appear in ENABLE, 69 in Collins, and 39 in NWL2023; those totals overlap rather than adding up to the full list.

• The pattern has 71 tournament-dictionary matches, all ending in E.
• Only 16 matches fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• Crime, prime, blame, theme, and frame are recognizable choices.

• AZYME leads the Scrabble scores at 19 points; the average score is 10.

Which Wordle guesses fit this pattern?

The pattern has 71 allowed guesses and 19 answer-list entries that also appear in tournament dictionaries. That makes it a useful filter when your board confirms M in slot four and E at the end, but it does not identify one answer by itself.

Try familiar candidates such as crime, prime, theme, or frame against your colored tiles. The 19 answer-list matches are only part of the answer pool, so eliminate words using every known green and yellow clue rather than guessing from the ending alone.

Which M-E words score well?

AZYME scores 19 in Scrabble, ahead of QUEME at 16 and CHYME at 15. Those high scores come from less familiar words, not from the everyday options most players spot first. RHYME and THYME score 13 each, making them easier examples to recognize while still beating the pattern’s average of 10.

The main limitation is vocabulary: 41 of the 71 matches have definitions, while only 16 are common by the frequency measure. Some entries also appear in one tournament dictionary but not another, so check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar choice. For a broader comparison, the S-fourth, E-fifth pattern has 151 matches, more than twice this M pattern’s total.
