7-letter words with M as the 2nd letter and C as the 6th letter

An M in slot two and a C in slot six create a narrow seven-letter frame: _M___C_. The 12 matches range from familiar EMBRACE and IMPEACH to less everyday entries such as AMBATCH and EMPEACH. Six begin with E, five with A, and only one begins with I.

At a glance: the pattern’s counts

• All 12 matches appear in Collins; 8 are accepted in ENABLE and 8 in NWL2023.
• Only 2 entries qualify as common by English word-frequency ranking.
• Six words start with E, five with A, and one with I.
• The final letters are E (5), H (3), S (3), and K (1).

Which words make the pattern easiest to spot?

EMBRACE and EMPLACE give you the same opening, EM, and place C in the sixth slot. IMPEACH shares that fixed frame but starts with I, the rarest opening in this group. These recognizable examples are good anchors when you have several crossing letters to check.

AMTRACK also fits, with C just before its final K. The less familiar AMTRACS, AMBATCH, and EMPEACH follow the same positional rule. Don’t mistake the repeated M for a first letter: every match has M in position two, while the first letter is E, A, or I.

Which matches score most in Scrabble?

IMPEACH, AMBATCH, and EMPEACH tie for the highest score at 16 points each. AMTRACK follows at 15, while EMBRACE and EMPLACE score 13. That makes the pattern more promising for a score-focused play than its small match count might suggest.

For 7-letter words with M as the 2nd letter and C as the 6th letter, dictionary coverage is the main limitation: Collins includes all 12, but ENABLE and NWL2023 each accept only 8. Check your game’s word list before playing a less familiar match.
