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

Every match has the same final pair, MP, so the clue fixes two slots and leaves the first three open. The starting-letter pattern is concentrated: C leads with 10 words, while S contributes seven. Ten matches rank among the commonest English words; the rest include less familiar plays such as TROMP and WHOMP.

The pattern at a glance

• 34 tournament-dictionary words fit the pattern.
• C begins 10 matches, more than any other first letter.
• S starts seven; G and T start four apiece.
• TRUMP, STAMP, and CHAMP are recognizable examples.
• WHOMP and WHUMP top the score table at 15 points each.

Which starting letters appear most often?

C starts 10 words, ahead of S with seven. Ten matches count as common by frequency; recognizable entries include TRUMP, STAMP, SWAMP, and STUMP. The first letter narrows the search, but the other three open slots still leave several possibilities.

Changing the fourth letter while keeping final P gives 24 matches with O, 19 with E, 19 with U, 16 with A, and 13 with I. M leads those nearby vowel-position patterns, making this a comparatively full group.

Dictionary coverage is close but not identical: ENABLE accepts 31 matches, Collins accepts 33, and NWL2023 accepts 32. The combined total is 34 because it includes words found in at least one of those tournament dictionaries.

How do these words work in Wordle and Scrabble?

Wordle's answer list contributes 19 matches that also appear in a tournament dictionary; 33 matches are permitted guesses. An allowed guess is not automatically a possible answer, so use the answer count when checking a solve rather than treating every accepted entry alike.

WHOMP and WHUMP score 15 points before premium squares, ahead of CHAMP, CHIMP, CHUMP, and CHOMP at 14. Premium squares change the board total, not the base score.

5-letter words with M as the 4th letter and P as the 5th letter make a narrow pattern, not a general list of common guesses. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry: dictionary coverage varies, and some options are less familiar than TRUMP or STAMP.
