7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and M as the 5th letter

The pattern is _E__M__, with E fixed in slot two and M in slot five. Just 10 entries meet the common group, so expect a mix of familiar forms such as BECOMES and RESUMED and less familiar vocabulary. Final letters offer a quick way to narrow the choices: N and S account for most of this group.

The pattern at a glance

• There are 132 tournament-dictionary words matching _E__M__.
• N is the most frequent final letter, appearing in 55 matches; S follows with 37.
• R begins 24 words, while B begins 22 and D begins 18.
• Only 10 matches meet the common group.
• ZEUGMAS leads the score ranking at 19 points.

How do these E-and-M words usually end?

N and S are the clear ending leaders: together they cover 92 of the 132 matches. RESUMED and DEFAMED show the D ending, while CERAMIC is one of the 8 words ending in C.

That ending split is a practical filter when you have another confirmed tile. Try N or S first; if neither fits, D is the next option with 15 matches. The first-letter counts also favor R, B, and D, with 64 words starting across those three letters.

Scores, vocabulary, and the exact 7-letter pattern

ZEUGMAS scores 19 in Scrabble, ahead of JEMIMAS and LEXEMIC at 18 each. DEFAMED, REVAMPS, DECAMPS, and DESKMAN each reach 14, making them more recognizable scoring candidates than the top-ranked specialist words.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 129 matches, NWL2023 includes 109, and ENABLE includes 102. Those counts overlap, so they do not add up to the total. With only 10 common entries, check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar form.
