6-letter words with M as the 4th letter and E as the 6th letter

With M fixed in position four and E closing the word, the pattern leaves four letters open for crossing clues. The matches are unevenly distributed at the start: S leads with six, while C, G, and P each contribute five. None falls among the common-word group, so expect a specialist puzzle list rather than everyday vocabulary; the small count stands out beside other fourth-letter patterns that also end in E.

6-letter words with M as the 4th letter and E as the 6th letter

• Exactly 41 words fit the pattern: M occupies position four, and E occupies position six.
• Collins includes all 41; NWL2023 includes 28, while ENABLE includes 25.
• Only 26 matches have definitions, and none is classed as a common word.
• S begins six entries; C, G, and P each begin five.
• DJEMBE leads the scoring table at 18 points, ahead of JIMMIE at 17.

Which matching words score highest?

DJEMBE is the standout Scrabble scorer at 18 points, with JIMMIE next at 17. SCHMOE and FLAMBE each score 13, so the leader clears the next tier by five points. The two J-bearing words are the tactical exceptions in a list with an average score of 11.

COMMIE, COOMBE, CAMMIE, POMMIE, CRAMBE, and MAMMIE each score 12. When the board gives you a choice, keep DJEMBE or JIMMIE for a premium square; the J is what separates those plays from the cluster at 12 and below.

How does this pattern compare with nearby clues?

The I-fourth, E-sixth pattern has 377 entries, compared with 41 here. Changing only the final letter to D gives 97 matches, while C gives 30. Those comparisons make the M-and-E combination unusually restrictive, even among six-letter clues that lock down two positions.

Dictionary coverage also varies: the 41 matches appear in Collins, but only 28 appear in NWL2023 and 25 in ENABLE. Check your game's word list before building a play around a less familiar entry. For a narrow rack clue, start with the first-letter counts: S has the most options, while C, G, and P tie behind it.
