7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and B as the 3rd letter

The pattern forces every entry to begin MOB: M takes the first position and B the third. MOBILES and MOBSTER are recognizable examples, while many other matches build on doubled B forms such as MOBBING, MOBBLES, and MOBBISH. None ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect specialist vocabulary rather than everyday words.

MOBILES and MOBSTER are easier to recognize than forms such as MEBOSes or MOBBISM. None of the entries meets the page’s frequency threshold for a common English word, so check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

MOBBISH tops the scores at 16 points. MOB CAPS and MOBBISM follow at 15 each, while MOBBING and MOBBLED score 14 apiece.
