The fixed pattern is D??M???: D begins every entry, and M sits in the fourth slot. DIAMOND, DISMISS, DRUMMER, and DORMANT make the shape easy to spot, but only five of the 62 entries rank as common English words. Counts differ by tournament list: Collins includes all 62, compared with 50 in NWL2023 and 46 in ENABLE.

7-letter words with D as the 1st letter and M as the 4th letter

  • Collins includes 62 matches; NWL2023 has 50, and ENABLE has 46.
  • Only five entries count as common, so recognizable examples are a small slice of the pattern.
  • Twenty-three matches end in S, versus nine ending in D; S is the clear finish leader.
  • DIAMOND, DISMISS, DRUMMER, and DORMANT show how varied the other middle letters can be.
  • DJEMBES scores 19 points, ahead of DAYMARK at 17 and DWAMMED at 16.

Which familiar words match D??M???

DIAMOND and DRUMMER are familiar choices, while DISMISS and DORMANT offer different letter patterns around the fixed M. DUMMIES, DIMMING, and DEEMING repeat M in the third and fourth positions, a useful pattern to notice when your rack contains two M tiles.

This D-and-M combination has 62 matches, fewer than the same pattern beginning with B, which has 69, or C, which has 156. The final letter also narrows the search: 23 entries end in S, while the next most frequent ending, D, appears on nine. Start with the last letter when your puzzle gives you that clue.

How should you use the high scorers?

Tip

In Scrabble, using all seven rack tiles earns a 50-point bingo bonus. DIAMOND is a familiar seven-letter candidate when your rack contains those letters.

Questions people ask

Which common words have D first and M fourth?
DIAMOND, DRUMMER, DISMISS, and DORMANT are recognizable examples of the D??M??? pattern. Only five of the 62 matches rank as common English words, so most entries are less familiar. The other letters still matter: the pattern fixes only the first and fourth positions.
What is the highest-scoring word in this group?
DJEMBES is the top scorer at 19 points. DAYMARK scores 17, and DWAMMED scores 16. These are tile-score totals, so a word's value on a board can change with premium squares; confirm that your game accepts the spelling before playing it.
Why do the dictionary totals differ?
Collins includes all 62 matches, while NWL2023 includes 50 and ENABLE includes 46. Each tournament dictionary accepts a different set of words, which explains why a candidate can appear in one game's list but not another. Check the word list used by your game when a match is close.
