7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and K as the 7th letter

The pattern is fixed at both ends: M opens each word, and K closes it. The 30 matches range from MIDWEEK and MOLLUSK to less familiar options such as MAF­FICK and MAMMOCK. None falls within the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect a specialized play rather than everyday vocabulary.

• Collins includes 29 matches; NWL2023 includes 18, and ENABLE includes 17.

Which M-to-K words score highest?

MANJACK is the top scorer at 22 points, ahead of MAFFICK at 21 and MUNTJAK at 20. MISKICK, MAMMOCK, MIMMICK and MUMMOCK each score 19, making the less familiar entries worth checking when a rack has valuable letters.

MUDPACK scores 18, while MILCHIK reaches 18 and MIDWEEK scores 17. The group’s average score is 16.6, so MANJACK stands well above the typical result. Check your game’s word list before building a play around a rare entry.

7-letter words with M first and K last

The fixed K ending makes this a much smaller group than other M-starting patterns: 30 words end in K, compared with 681 seven-letter words that start with M and end in S. For recognizable options, try MIDWEEK or MOLLUSK; MENFOLK and MERFOLK offer another shared ending.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: the overall count is 30, but the separate Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE counts are 29, 18 and 17. Eighteen matches have definitions. Treat the full set as a clue-matching pool, not a promise that every game accepts every entry.
