A final I is fixed across all 20 tournament-dictionary matches, making the last slot an immediate check. GEMINI, KIMCHI, and KUMARI are recognizable anchors, while ROMAJI and KAMAHI sit higher on the score list. Only 1 entry meets the common-word cutoff, so this pattern is compact but uneven in familiarity.

Quick facts for the M-I ending

  • All 20 matches put M third and I sixth.
  • KIMCHI leads the score list at 17 points.
  • ROMAJI and KAMAHI each score 15.
  • Only 1 match is in the common-word group.

Which words end with M third and I sixth?

GEMINI, KIMCHI, and KUMARI are clear starting points for the __M__I pattern. BIMINI, SAMITI, and TAMARI show how much the first two positions can change while the final I stays fixed.

The one common-word match belongs to a set of 20, so familiarity quickly thins out. Keep the final I in place as you test candidate spellings; a known opening alone does not confirm the middle M.

The five open slots do not carry equal clues: once M is confirmed in place three, a final I narrows the field again. Write the known frame before testing unusual spellings.

How do the scoring options compare?

Tip

KIMCHI tops the scoring examples at 17 points. ROMAJI and KAMAHI each reach 15, giving less familiar options a higher raw value than many obvious fits.

What should you keep in mind?

Only 1 of 20 matches is common, though definitions are available for 19. GEMINI, KIMCHI, KUMARI, and BIMINI give concrete anchors; the rest reward careful letter checking. Keep the fixed M and final I separate from any guess about the open slots.

KIMCHI is also a familiar food word, but the other high scorers are more specialized. Use the score order after checking the pattern, since a strong tile total cannot fix a misplaced letter.
