None fall among the 25,000 most common English words, so expect a mix of recognizable vocabulary and specialist finds rather than an everyday shortlist.

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

Tip

Treat the final M as a firm anchor, then test familiar endings such as -ism and -gram. The 33-word pool is small, and its less common entries are not all valid in every game.

Questions people ask

What is the highest-scoring 7-letter word starting with E and ending with M?
EXUVIUM is the highest scorer in this group at 19 points. EXCLAIM follows at 18, then EXODERM at 17 and EXOTISM at 16. Those are base word scores; premium board squares can change a play’s total.
Are all 33 E-to-M words valid in NWL2023?
No. Collins contains all 33 words, but NWL2023 and ENABLE each contain 21. That makes Collins the only list that accepts all of them, so an NWL2023 game rejects 12 of the 33 words.
Which familiar words begin with E and end with M?
EXCLAIM, EARDRUM, EGOTISM, ELITISM, and EPIGRAM are among the recognizable matches. The full group has 33 words, but none rank among the 25,000 most common English words, so many of the remaining options are more specialized.
