6-letter words with C as the 1st letter and M as the 4th letter

Use C??M?? to match these six-letter words. Just 15 of the 96 dictionary entries rank as common English words, so familiar choices sit beside specialized vocabulary. COMMON and COMMIT are easy anchors; S and N lead the final-letter counts.

At a glance: the C??M?? Pattern

• Every match starts with C, has M in position four, and contains exactly six letters.
• COMMON, CRIMES, COMMIT, COSMIC, and COSMOS are familiar examples in the set.
• COMMON is an everyday anchor; COMMIX leads the scoring table at 19 points.
• Thirty entries end in S, while 16 end in N; those are the two most frequent final letters.

Which 6-letter words with C first and M fourth are familiar?

COMMON, COMMIT, COSMIC, and CLUMSY are familiar members of this C??M?? group. COMMON ends in N, COMMIT in T, COSMIC in C, and CLUMSY in Y, so even recognizable examples cover four different final tiles. That variety gives crossing letters real value when the first and fourth positions are already fixed.

That ending pattern can narrow a clue quickly. S is the most frequent final letter, with 30 matches, followed by N with 16. If you know the last tile is S, try examples such as CRIMES, CHAMPS, CHIMES, or CRUMBS before testing less familiar entries.

Which matches score highest, and what should you check?

COMMIX leads the scoring table at 19 points. CHUMMY, CHAMPY, CHEMMY, CHAMMY, and CHYMIC each reach 18; CLIMAX scores 17. The unusual high scorers suit racks with valuable tiles, though a large base score alone does not ensure a legal play.

Collins includes 96 matches, against 71 in NWL2023 and 65 in ENABLE. Frequency marks only 15 as common, leaving a long tail of specialized entries. Among final tiles, S appears 30 times and N 16 times, useful checkpoints once the crossing letters reveal the word ending.
