The fixed letters leave five open slots, yet this pattern produces only 19 tournament-dictionary entries. The group leans toward A at the start: six words begin there, while just one begins with U. Familiar finds include imagery, smokers, and implore; rarer forms such as empayre and amokura make the rest of the set less predictable.

At a glance: the M-and-R pattern

  • The 19 matches span three game dictionaries: Collins includes 18, NWL2023 includes 15, and ENABLE includes 14.
  • Just 2 of the matches rank among the common English words by frequency.
  • A leads the first-letter group with 6 words; I has 5, E has 4, and S has 3.
  • S closes 9 matches, while E closes 5; A and Y each finish 2.

Which 7-letter words have M second and R sixth?

The most recognizable anchors include imagery, smokers, implore, and impairs. Each puts M immediately after its first letter and R in sixth place, giving you familiar patterns to test against crossed letters. Amphora is another recognizable entry; it begins with A and ends with A.

The final letter can narrow your search quickly: nine matches end in S, five in E, and only one in L. If your known letters leave the ending open, test S first, then E. A and Y tie at two each, a clue specific to this pattern rather than a general rule about English words.

Scrabble scores and dictionary differences

For 7-letter words with M as the 2nd letter and R as the 6th letter, amphora and empayre lead the Scrabble scores at 14 points apiece. Imagery, smokers, and amokura each score 13. Amphora is the more familiar-looking option, so keep score value separate from how readily a word comes to mind.

The 19-word total combines Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE entries; no single game list accepts every match. Collins contains 18, compared with 15 in NWL2023 and 14 in ENABLE. Check your game's dictionary before committing to an unfamiliar choice such as empayre.

The narrow pool makes position-based solving more effective than memorizing every entry. Lock in M and R first, then branch by the opening letter: A gives you six candidates, I five, and E four.
