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

The pattern is _M____T: M follows the first letter, and T closes every match. Recognizable choices include AMBIENT, IMPLANT, IMPRINT, and EMINENT, alongside less familiar entries such as SMICKET and EMPIGHT. Only five matches rank as common by the frequency measure, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar answer.

The pattern and its dictionary footprint

• All 20 matches have M in position two and T in position seven.
• The first letters are A for seven words, I for seven, E for five, and S for one.
• Collins includes all 20; NWL2023 includes 11, while ENABLE includes 10.
• Five entries are common by frequency, and 11 have definitions.

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

The first letter narrows the search quickly: AMBIENT, AMONGST, AMPLest, and AMARANT begin with A, while IMPLANT, IMPRINT, and IMAGIST begin with I. EMINENT adds a familiar E-starting option. These examples show how the fixed M and T leave room for sharply different middle-letter patterns.

A useful solving move is to test the opening pair before guessing the ending: the final T is already fixed, but the first letter splits this set among four possibilities. A and I account for seven matches each; E contributes five, and only one starts with S. If a candidate begins with another letter, it cannot fit this pattern.

Which matches score the most?

SMICKET and EMPIGHT tie for the highest score at 15 points each. Their unusual letter combinations stand out beside familiar-looking AMBIENT, IMPLANT, IMPRINT, and IMPREST, which each score 11. The average score across the set is 10.6, so the top pair is a clear step above the typical entry.

For 7-letter words with M as the 2nd letter and T as the 7th letter, a high score does not guarantee an easy play: SMICKET and EMPIGHT are less familiar than the 11-point choices. The dictionary split also matters. Collins has the full set, but NWL2023 and ENABLE accept smaller subsets; confirm the rules used in your game before playing a disputed word.
