7-letter words with E as the 1st letter and M as the 6th letter

The fixed pattern is E _ _ _ _ M _, so four tiles sit between the E and the M, and one tile follows it. Only four entries are common by word frequency; economy and extreme are easier to recognize than many options. The collection averages 12.7 points, but dictionary coverage varies: 33 appear in Collins, 24 in NWL2023, and 22 in ENABLE.

How many 7-letter words have E first and M sixth?

There are 34 seven-letter words with E first and M sixth. Among patterns that begin with E, M in the sixth position is a narrow branch: 34 matches, compared with 297 when the sixth letter is E.

The final letter narrows the choices further: 15 end in S, 10 in E, five in A, three in Y, and one in P. When your last letter is unknown, S and E are the strongest places to start. Familiar anchors include economy, extreme, epitome, endgame, and edamame.

Definitions are available for 26 of the 34 entries, so many playable possibilities are not everyday vocabulary. The overall count combines tournament dictionaries; it does not mean every game accepts every word.

How to play and score this letter pattern

For a high tile-value total, consider exogamy at 20 points, exonyms at 19, or exacums at 18. Ecthyma and eponymy each score 17. Those are base word scores, so premium squares can change the result.

Playing all seven rack tiles in one legal word earns the standard Scrabble bingo bonus of 50. Exogamy is a strong candidate if those letters are on your rack. Dictionaries differ, though: only 22 of these words appear in ENABLE, versus 33 in Collins, so check your game's word list before relying on one.
