7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and R as the 4th letter

The clue locks M into the opening slot and R into the fourth, leaving five positions to solve. The 95 matches range from familiar words such as MARRIED and MIRRORS to specialist entries such as MICRIFY and MYRRHIC. Only 6 are common by frequency, so the pattern is more productive for exact-fit solving than everyday vocabulary.

7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and R as the 4th letter

There are 95 tournament-dictionary matches for this exact pattern. Dictionary coverage varies: Collins has 95, compared with 64 in NWL2023 and 61 in ENABLE. That gap matters in cross-version play; an unfamiliar entry may not transfer between word lists.

The fixed letters leave room for varied middle sequences. MARRIED, MIGRANT, MIGRATE, and MIRRORS are easy to spot, while METRICS, MISREAD, and MOORING give you different letter combinations to check against a board.

S endings lead by a wide margin: 34 words finish with S, while E is next with 12. When crossing letters leave the final square open, test an S ending early; it accounts for more than a third of the matches.

How to use the M _ _ R _ _ _ pattern

The highest face-value scores favor uncommon letter combinations. MICRIFY and MYRRHIC score 17 points, while MIDRIFF, MUDROCK, and MICROHM each score 16. MICRIFY is worth checking when those rack letters are already available, though board placement determines the final total.

The average score is 10.9, but only 6 matches are common by frequency. Recognizable words make a quick first pass; less familiar options can still fit a constrained rack. Check your game's word list before playing an obscure entry.
