Lock E and M into positions two and three, and the first letter is still open. The biggest starting group is R, with 50 matches; D follows with 36. Familiar choices include REMAINS, REMOVED and DEMANDS, but the pattern also reaches unusual, high-value entries such as PEMPHIX. The word list draws from tournament dictionaries, so acceptance can differ by game.

The pattern at a glance

There are 215 tournament-dictionary matches for the fixed E-M pattern.
R leads the first-letter groups with 50 words; D is next with 36.
S is the most common final letter, appearing on 73 matches.
PEMPHIX tops the score list at 23 points; ZEMSTVO and ZEMSTVA each score 21.

Which letters start and end these words?

R and D together start 86 of the 215 entries, while S, B and T add another 55. That makes REMAINS, REMOVAL, DEMANDS and TEMPTED practical examples to scan first. The remaining words start with a wider spread of letters, including H, G and K.

S closes 73 words, well ahead of D at 27 and R at 21. That puts nearly half the matches in the S-ending group. Try REMAINS, REMOVES, REMIXES or TEMPLES when the final square is S; REMOVED and REMORSE show two alternatives.

How should you use the rarer matches?

PEMPHIX is the standout score at 23, with ZEMSTVO, ZEMSTVA and BEMAZED close behind at 21 each. Those are less familiar than REMAINS or FEMALES, but their high-value letters can change a board position. The average score across the pattern is 12.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins includes 211 matches, compared with 148 in NWL2023 and 138 in ENABLE. A word accepted in one list may fail in another, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry. For a denser or broader pattern, compare the neighboring E-R and E-A combinations.
