The pattern holds M in slot two, leaving the first and last letters open. You’ll see recognizable words such as amazing, improve, and emotion alongside less familiar tournament entries. Only 63 qualify as common by the top-25,000 English-word frequency cutoff, so expect plenty of specialist vocabulary in the full set.

At a glance: the M-second pattern

507 seven-letter words match, with M fixed in position two.
63 entries are common by the top-25,000 English-word frequency cutoff.
392 entries have definitions.
UMFAZIS scores 21 points; amazing scores 19.

What stands out among 7-letter words with M as the 2nd letter?

The starting letters cluster around E, A, I, and S: 135 words begin with E, 128 with A, 107 with I, and 96 with S. That makes familiar openings like em-, im-, and sm- productive places to check when your board already fixes M second.

Endings lean toward S: 158 words finish with that letter, compared with 84 ending in D and 75 in E. Examples include amounts, emerged, and imagine. The common set includes amazing, smaller, improve, and smoking, but those recognizable choices represent only 63 of the matches.

For a quick pattern check, compare imagine (I-M-A) with smaller (S-M-A) and emperor (E-M-P). Each keeps M in slot two, while the letters around it change sharply. Don’t mistake a familiar-looking beginning for a guarantee that the remaining rack will fit.

Which M-second words stand out in games?

UMFAZIS tops the score list at 21 points, while EMPRIZE, EMBLAZE, IMBLAZE, and IMBIZOS each score 20. Amazing reaches 19 and is much easier to recognize. The average score across the matches is 11.6, so the rare high scorers are outliers rather than a typical play.

The 507 total counts words appearing in at least one tournament dictionary, not words accepted by every game. Collins includes 492, NWL2023 includes 354, and ENABLE includes 327. That gap matters: check the word list for your game before building a play around a less familiar entry.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have M as the second letter?

There are 507 7-letter words with M in position two. The count includes entries found in at least one tournament dictionary, so it is broader than any single dictionary’s total. Examples include amazing, imagine, smaller, and improve.

What is the highest-scoring word with M as its second letter?

UMFAZIS is the highest scorer at 21 points. EMPRIZE, EMBLAZE, IMBLAZE, and IMBIZOS score 20 each, while the familiar word amazing scores 19. These are base word scores; board premiums can change a play’s final value.
