6-letter words with M as the 3rd letter and N as the 6th letter

The pattern fixes two slots: M sits third, while N closes every answer. COMMON, REMAIN, DOMAIN, and SUMMON make the set recognizable, but only four entries rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words. The rest lean toward specialist vocabulary, so a familiar-looking form is not automatically accepted in every game's dictionary.

6-letter words with M as the 3rd letter and N as the 6th letter

• 42 six-letter matches put M in position three and N in position six.
• Collins accepts 42; ENABLE accepts 30, and NWL2023 accepts 32.
• COMMON is the clearest familiar anchor; REMAIN, DOMAIN, and SUMMON also fit.
• JAMPAN leads the listed Scrabble scores at 17 points, before board premiums.
• Only 4 entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff.

Which familiar words fit the pattern?

COMMON is the easiest anchor: it repeats M and ends in N, while REMAIN and DOMAIN use different opening letters and keep the same fixed M-N frame. SUMMON also fits, with its doubled M making the third slot easy to misplace when you scan a rack.

Other recognizable choices include DAMPEN, DEMEAN, BEMOAN, and TAMPON. The set has 42 candidates, yet just 4 fall inside the frequency cutoff, so prioritize these familiar forms before testing less common entries.

The opening-letter spread is narrow at the top: S begins 7 entries, while D and T begin 5 each, giving you a compact way to trim a candidate list.

How do the scores and dictionary counts compare?

JAMPAN scores 17 points on the standard letter tally, ahead of JIMSON at 15 and BUMKIN at 14. JAMPAN leads because J is worth more than the common letters in REMAIN or DOMAIN; a premium square changes the board total, not the word's base ranking.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins has all 42 matches, compared with 30 in ENABLE and 32 in NWL2023. That gap matters in tournament play; check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar option such as JAMPAN or SAMAAN.

Changing the final N to S expands the matching set from 42 to 244; shifting the pattern to seven letters gives 162 matches.
