6-letter words with M as the 3rd letter and R as the 5th letter

The 64 matches include 45 in ENABLE, 48 in NWL2023, and all 64 in Collins. That spread matters in word games: a match accepted in Collins may not appear in the North American list or ENABLE, so confirm an unfamiliar entry before committing it.

The starting letters are varied rather than concentrated around one choice. A leads with 8 words, while C and S each start 7. The pattern also has fewer matches than the corresponding T-and-R pattern, with 120, or N-and-R pattern, with 89.

Which matches are familiar or score well?

For a quick recognition check, start with CAMERA, MEMORY, REMARK, and ADMIRE. The list has 55 defined entries, but just 11 are among the commonest words by frequency; many of the remaining options are less familiar. That makes the fixed-letter pattern better for narrowing a rack than for guessing an everyday answer.

On the score list, JUMARS and JUMART tie at 15 points, ahead of MEMORY and HOMBRE at 13. Those scores come from the letters in the words, not a promise of a particular board result. When comparing candidate plays, account for board squares and confirm that your game accepts the word.
