Read the pattern as _M_S__: the second tile is M, the fourth is S, and the other slots stay open. AMUSED, AMUSES, and EMESIS are recognizable entries, while OMASUM and TMESIS make the set less routine. Only one of the 11 words counts as common, so a tight pattern search still returns specialist vocabulary.

At a glance: the pattern and its strongest scorer

  • All 11 matches fit _M_S__ and appear in Collins.
  • ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 9 of the 11 words.
  • Only one match is classified as common.
  • Six words end in S; the other five end in A, D, L, M, or R.
  • OMASUM scores 10, the highest score among these matches.

How do these 11 words differ?

The matches split across four starting letters: A leads with five, while E, O, and T contribute two apiece. AMUSED, AMUSES, and AMUSER make the A group the largest; EMESIS and EMESES form the E pair. OMASUM and OMASAL, plus TMESIS and TMESES, complete the set.

Endings offer another quick filter: six words finish in S, and one each finishes in A, D, L, M, or R. Those S endings are not all ordinary plurals: AMUSES is a verb form, while EMESIS is a singular noun. If your final tile is S, six candidates fit.

6-letter words with M as the 2nd letter and S as the 4th letter

OMASUM leads the score list at 10, followed by AMUSED at 9. AMUSES, EMESIS, AMUSIA, TMESIS, and AMUSER each score 8. OMASUM stands out when points matter, though its unfamiliar spelling is easy to overlook beside AMUSED.

Collins includes all 11 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 9, so check your game's word list before playing an edge entry. For 6-letter words with M as the 2nd letter and S as the 4th letter, familiarity is a real limitation: only one is common, and 8 have definitions.

Questions people ask

Which of these words scores the most?
OMASUM scores the most, with 10 points. AMUSED follows at 9, while AMUSES, EMESIS, AMUSIA, TMESIS, and AMUSER each score 8. OMASUM is the top-scoring choice in this pattern, but its less familiar spelling can make it harder to spot.
Are all 11 words accepted in ENABLE and NWL2023?
No. Collins includes all 11 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 9. Their counts do not identify which individual entries differ, so check your game's word list before using an unfamiliar form.
How many of these six-letter words end in S?
Six of the 11 matches finish in S, the most frequent ending. A, D, L, M, and R each close one word, so a known final S leaves six candidates to check.
