The fixed pattern is M _ _ _ _ N _, so the sixth letter is settled while five slots remain open. You’ll find everyday choices such as MEETING and MACHINE alongside less familiar tournament entries. The useful shortcut is to check the final letter: G and S account for most of the matches.

What stands out in this letter pattern?

  • Exactly 233 entries start with M and place N in the sixth position.
  • MORNING, MEETING, MISSING, and MACHINE are recognizable examples.
  • A total of 109 entries end in G, while 72 end in S.
  • Only 33 entries fall within the common-word group.
  • MUZZING scores 28 points; MIZZENS follows at 27.

Which of these words are easiest to recognize?

MORNING, MEETING, MISSING, MACHINE, and MEANING are among the most familiar choices in the group. These examples make the pattern easier to scan: each begins with M, has N in position six, and uses a different middle-letter sequence.

The common-word count is 33, a small slice of the 233 matches. MARKING, MELTING, MAILING, and MAPPING are also easy to recognize, while words such as MUZZING are better known for their board-game scoring than for everyday use. After MAHJONG at 20, MOCKING, MUCKING and MUFFING lead the 16-point group.

How should you use 7-letter words with M first and N sixth?

Start by testing the final letter: G ends 109 matches and S ends 72, so those two clues narrow the search quickly. MORNING and MEETING fit the G group, while MARGINS and MOTIONS finish in S, and E and T close 22 and 11 more, so G, S, E and T together cover 214 of the 233.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins has 230 matches, NWL2023 has 164, and ENABLE has 155. The source counts overlap, so they are not separate piles to add together. Only 194 entries have definitions; check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar tournament word.
