7-letter words with M as the 2nd letter and E as the 5th letter

42 seven-letter words match the exact M-in-second, E-in-fifth pattern. They are not equally familiar: seven meet the common-word cutoff, with amateur, impress, imagery, ambient, and eminent among the recognizable options. Test familiar-looking fits before reaching for a rarer tournament entry.

Opening letters make a useful shortlist: I begins 12 words, A begins 11, and E and S begin 7 each. I or A is therefore more likely than any other single first letter in this group. The final slot is more one-sided: S closes 20 entries, while A, E, and T close 4 apiece.

Which words score highest?

Empyema, smokeys, and smokeho each score 16 Scrabble points before board bonuses. Impiety and imphees follow at 14. The top-scoring spellings are less familiar than amateur or imagery, so a strong tile score does not guarantee that a word will suit your game.

The dictionary split matters: Collins accepts 41 matches, NWL2023 accepts 33, and ENABLE accepts 31, with overlap among the lists. Only seven are common, so treat the rarer forms cautiously and check your game's word list before committing. For 7-letter words with M as the 2nd letter and E as the 5th letter, lock those positions first, then test the remaining letters against likely endings.
