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

This pattern fixes the middle pair as UM, leaving the first three letters and final letter to vary. Familiar matches include VOLUME, ASSUME, AUTUMN, and RESUME, but most entries are less common. The ending stands out: S appears far more often than any other final letter.

The pattern at a glance

• The combined tournament-dictionary count is 68 six-letter words.
• Collins has 66 matches, NWL2023 has 56, and ENABLE has 52; those counts overlap.
• A final S leads with 38 words, while E is next with 10.
• Only 8 matches fall within the common-word frequency cutoff.

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

The fixed UM pair appears in ordinary words with very different shapes. VOLUME and COLUMN end in E and N, while AUTUMN ends in N and TRAUMA ends in A. ASSUME, RESUME, ALBUMS, and FORUMS show how often the pattern turns up in recognizable words.

S is the clear leader at the final position: 38 matches end in S, compared with 10 ending in E and 6 each ending in A or P. That makes the last tile a strong sorting clue. If your pattern ends with E, for example, EXHUME and VOLUME are among the examples to check.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: Collins counts 66 matches and NWL2023 counts 56. The combined total includes words from at least one tournament list, so don’t add those source counts together. Check your game’s word list when a less familiar entry matters.

Which matches score the most?

GAZUMP tops the scoring list at 20 points; MAZUMA scores 19 and EXHUME scores 18. Those are less familiar options than VOLUME, but their high scores make them worth checking when you have the right rack.

A useful contrast is that 38 words finish with S, yet the common examples include several different endings: VOLUME ends in E, COLUMN in N, and TRAUMA in A.
