7-letter words with L second and M fifth

KLEZMER is the standout at 22 points, with FLUMMOX close behind at 21. These are not interchangeable meanings or spellings, but both reward a rack that can place Z or X in the fixed frame. More familiar CLAIMED scores less; choose based on the board and the tiles you can actually connect.

D finishes 20 matches, N finishes 15, and R finishes 13. CLAIMED and SLAMMED sit in the D group, while GLIMMER shows the R ending. This distribution offers a practical search order: test D first, then N and R, while retaining seven S-ending options for a less common route.

What should you know before playing?

Tip

Anchor the known tiles first, then compare the remaining letters with the exact spelling of the candidate.

Questions people ask

What is the highest score in the L-and-M pattern?
KLEZMER scores 22 points, ahead of FLUMMOX at 21. The high values come from Z and X, making these less familiar options worth checking when your rack and board support them. CLAIMED is easier to recognize but scores lower.
How many matches end in D?
Twenty of the 58 matches end in D, the largest final-letter group. N follows with 15 and R with 13. CLAIMED and SLAMMED illustrate the D ending, while GLIMMER provides a contrasting R example.
Which opening is most common?
G starts 12 matches, ahead of P with 10 and C or S with eight each. GLIMMER is a recognizable G example. The opening distribution is spread out, so combine the first letter with the fixed fifth M when scanning a rack.
