6-letter words with M as the 4th letter and P as the 5th letter

That fixed MP pair leaves room for very different openings: C starts 16 words, S starts 13, and G starts 11. The endings are more concentrated, with STAMPS and other S-ending forms dominating while words such as GRUMPY and SKIMPY finish with Y. Only nine entries fall among common English words, so expect plenty of specialist vocabulary.

The pattern at a glance

• The pattern contains 59 tournament-dictionary words, including STAMPS, PROMPT, and EXEMPT.
• S is the most frequent first letter, starting 16 words; S itself begins 13.
• A final S appears in 35 entries, more than twice the 16 that end in Y.
• Collins accepts 56 matches, NWL2023 accepts 54, and ENABLE accepts 46.
• CHAMPY leads the listed tile scores at 18 points, with EXEMPT and SKIMPY at 17.

Which endings dominate the M-P pattern?

S endings are the clearest route through this pattern: 35 of the 59 words finish with S. STAMPS, CHAMPS, TRUMPS, and CLAMPS show how often the letters before that final S form familiar plurals or verb forms.

Y is the other substantial ending, with 16 words. GRUMPY, SWAMPY, FRUMPY, and SKIMPY make that group easy to spot, but the remaining endings are scarce: just three finish in T and two in E. When the last tile is known, S versus Y quickly narrows the search.

Where do the high scores and word-list limits show?

CHAMPY scores 18 points, ahead of EXEMPT and SKIMPY at 17 each. SWAMPY, FRUMPY, WHOMPS, and WHUMPS each score 16. The useful scoring insight is that the fixed M and P do not guarantee the top result; CHAMPY's C and H push it ahead.

These 6-letter words with M as the 4th letter and P as the 5th letter are not equally familiar or accepted everywhere. Collins includes 56, compared with 54 in NWL2023 and 46 in ENABLE, and only nine are common English words. Check your game's word list before building around an unusual entry such as CHAMPY.
