This fixed pattern puts E and M side by side in the middle: _ _ E M _ _ _. The results range from everyday words like enemies and premium to less familiar entries such as queming. Only 12 qualify as common by word-frequency ranking, so a matching pattern does not guarantee a word you’ll recognize or want to play.

Pattern facts at a glance

  • The pattern has 94 words: E occupies position three, followed immediately by M.
  • P is the most frequent first letter, starting 16 matches; C and S start 14 each.
  • S is the most frequent final letter, appearing at the end of 26 matches.
  • Only 12 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • Collins lists 92 matches, compared with 67 in NWL2023 and 62 in ENABLE.

Which words make the pattern easiest to spot?

Premier, element, enemies, premium, and premise are recognizable examples that show how varied the pattern can be. Their shared middle is E-M, but their beginnings and endings differ: PREMIER ends in R, while ELEMENT ends in T.

The ending distribution has a clear leader: 26 words finish in S, and 19 finish in E. The S-ending group includes enemies, exempts, and siemens; the E-ending group includes premise, anemone, and tremble. That contrast can narrow a clue when you know the final letter.

7-letter words with E as the 3rd letter and M as the 4th letter

For a word game, lock in the middle pair first, then test likely starts and endings against your rack or crossing letters. P leads the starting-letter count, but C and S are close behind; an S at the end is the strongest single ending clue.

The top Scrabble scores are less familiar than the everyday examples: djembes and queming each score 19. Exempts and itemize score 18 apiece. That gap is a reminder that a rare-looking answer can outscore a word you know well, though you should check your game’s word list before playing an obscure entry.

Of the 94 tournament-dictionary entries, 80 have definitions, but a clue and a legal play are different tasks.
