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

The pattern is M__F__, with M fixed at the start and F in the fourth slot. The matches range from familiar MUFFIN and MISFIT to less common entries such as MEDFLY and MUGFUL. Only one word in this group ranks among the most common English vocabulary, so expect a compact answer set with plenty of unusual possibilities.

How many 6-letter words have M first and F fourth?

• There are 13 six-letter matches for M__F__ across the tournament dictionaries.
• Collins includes all 13; ENABLE includes 11, while NWL2023 includes 12.
• Only one match is classed as common: the rest are less familiar in everyday English.
• MAYFLY leads the scoring list at 17 points; MIFFED and MUFFED each score 15.
• Four words end in D, more than any other final letter in this group.

Which words fit the M__F__ pattern?

Start with MUFFIN and MISFIT if you want recognizable options. Both place F in the fourth position, but their endings differ: MUFFIN ends in N, while MISFIT ends in T. MFF is not the pattern; count the letters carefully and keep the fourth slot fixed.

The remaining examples include MIFFED, MUFFLE, MAYFLY, MUFFED, MAFFIA, MANFUL, MEDFLY, MOFFIE, MISFED, MUGFUL, and MALFED. D is the most frequent ending, with four words; E, L, and Y each finish two. A, N, and T appear once apiece.

Which M-and-F words score highest?

MAYFLY is the standout scorer at 17 points, ahead of MIFFED, MUFFED, and MEDFLY at 15 each. MUFFIN, MUFFLE, MAFFIA, and MOFFIE each score 14. The high values come from F, worth four points in standard English-language Scrabble, so words with multiple Fs deserve a quick score check.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: ENABLE accepts 11 of these entries, compared with all 13 in Collins and 12 in NWL2023. That makes the list less reliable as a universal tournament answer set. Check your game's word list before committing, especially for less familiar forms such as MALFED or MOFFIE.
