The fixed middle letters narrow the search to a varied set: REMAINS, DEMANDS, DAMAGED, and ROMANCE all fit. Just 11 entries are tagged common, so expect familiar words alongside less everyday plays. The final letter and first letter break the list into useful smaller groups when you are working from a partial clue.

How many 7-letter words with M third and A fourth?

  • 153 tournament-dictionary entries match the seven-letter pattern.
  • Only 11 entries are tagged common in English frequency data.
  • REMAINS, DEMANDS, DAMAGED, and FEMALES are recognizable examples.
  • S is the final letter for 64 entries; C is next with 13.
  • R leads as a first letter with 25 entries; D and H each have 15.

Which letters appear around the fixed MA?

The first letter varies most among the leading groups: R starts 25 words, while D and H start 15 each. REMAINS and REMATCH show the R pattern; DEMANDS and DAMAGED show D. Those familiar examples make a good first scan when you know only the middle pair.

The ending is more lopsided. S closes 64 words, far ahead of C at 13; A and E each finish 11. REMAINS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, and INMATES illustrate why S is a strong clue, though a final S alone does not tell you whether an entry is a plural or a verb.

Which entries score well, and where do they appear?

SHMALTZ, ZYMASES, and BEMAZED each score 21 points before board bonuses, the highest face-value scores among these entries. The average score is 12.2, so those three are outliers rather than a typical play. Check the board before spending a valuable letter on a premium square.

The 7-letter words with M third and A fourth do not all appear in the same tournament lists: 151 are in Collins, 103 in NWL2023, and 94 in ENABLE. Those groups overlap, so their counts do not add up to 153. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry such as ZYMASES.

Questions people ask

What are some common 7-letter words with M third and A fourth?
REMAINS, DEMANDS, DAMAGED, FEMALES, ROMANCE, and REMATCH are recognizable examples that match the pattern. Only 11 entries are tagged common, so many of the remaining options are less familiar. Use the opening and ending letters to narrow the choices further.
What is the highest-scoring word in this group?
SHMALTZ, ZYMASES, and BEMAZED each score 21 points before board bonuses. They share the top face-value score, so none outranks the others on tile points alone. Premium squares can change which play is strongest on a particular board.
Why do word-game counts differ for this pattern?
Dictionary coverage differs: 151 entries appear in Collins, 103 in NWL2023, and 94 in ENABLE. The counts overlap because some words appear in more than one list. A word accepted in one game may not be accepted in another, so check the list your game uses.
