7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and R as the 6th letter

With 156 matches, this pattern is sizeable but far smaller than the 464 seven-letter M-words with E in sixth place. Familiar picks include members, matters, measure, mothers, and mystery. The final tile heavily favors S: 93 matches end there, while only 3 end in M.

Which words fit the M-first, R-sixth pattern?

Members, matters, measure, mothers, and manners are easy anchors: their familiar forms make the fixed sixth letter easy to verify. Mystery ends in Y, measure in E, and matters in S, so the pattern does not force one final tile.

Endings tell a sharper story than the first letter. S closes 93 of the 156 matches, while M closes just 3; that gap makes a known last tile a strong filter after you establish M _ _ _ _ R _. The comparison is striking: M with E sixth yields 464 words, far more than the R set.

Several recognizable choices are plural or inflected forms: members, mothers, mentors, and mergers all keep R in the sixth slot and finish in S. That makes the S ending productive for recall, but it also means not every answer is a base-form noun.

Dictionary coverage is broad but not identical: Collins has 153 matches, NWL2023 126, and ENABLE 115. The total counts entries in at least one tournament list, so an obscure candidate may not survive every game's lexicon; check your game's word list before committing.
