Lock A into position two and M into position three, then use the remaining letters to sort your clue. FAMILY, CAMERA, FAMOUS and SAMPLE are familiar examples. The group spans several tournament dictionaries, but the totals differ: Collins includes 257 matches, while NWL2023 includes 192; that gap matters when you play under a specific word list.

What stands out in this letter pattern?

  • There are 260 six-letter matches with A second and M third.
  • G is the most common first letter, with 30 words; R and S follow with 26 each.
  • S is the leading final letter, ending 61 matches; E and R end 35 and 33.
  • Only 26 matches are common by frequency, despite examples such as FAMILY and CAMERA.
  • HAMZAH and ZAMBUK top the score list at 23 points apiece.

How many 6-letter words have A second and M third?

The answer is 260 across the tournament dictionaries counted here. The source totals are 175 in ENABLE, 257 in Collins and 192 in NWL2023; those counts overlap, so they do not add up to the overall total.

The first and last letters narrow the pattern further. G starts 30 words, while R and S start 26 each.

At the other end, S is a clear leader with 61 endings, far ahead of E at 35 and R at 33. So if your clue gives a final S, start with that ending rather than guessing the first letter.

Which matches score well, and what should you check?

For Scrabble scoring, HAMZAH and ZAMBUK each reach 23 points, and JAMJAR scores 22. More familiar JAMMED scores 18, making it a practical candidate when its letters fit. The top scorers lean toward less familiar vocabulary, so a high total does not make a word a safe play in every game.

Only 26 of the 260 matches rank among common English words. The list is a pattern aid, not a promise that every entry appears in your game’s dictionary; check the game’s word list once before committing.

For a shorter clue with the same fixed letters, compare 5-letter words with A second and M third; for another ending slot, keep the 6-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and M as the 3rd letter in view.
