How many 6-letter words have M first and T sixth?

There are 55 tournament-dictionary matches for this exact pattern. That makes the M-starting group smaller than the S-starting group, which has 114 matches, and the R-starting group, with 103.

For a more familiar starting point, try MARKET, MOMENT, MODEST, MAGNET, MUTANT, or MASCOT. These examples show how varied the middle letters can be while the first and last positions stay fixed.

The small common-word count is the catch: just 7 matches are common by frequency. If your game accepts obscure entries, the wider dictionary lists add options; check your game's word list once before relying on a less familiar word.
