The pattern is _ _ M _ A _ _, so the third and fifth slots are fixed while the other five letters stay open. Just 12 matches are common by our frequency cutoff, with COMPANY, COMMAND, and SUMMARY among the recognizable choices. Most end in S: 56 of 131, a useful clue when the final tile is still unknown.

7-letter words with M as the 3rd letter and A as the 5th letter

  • 131 tournament-dictionary entries fit _ _ M _ A _ _.
  • Only 12 are common; COMPANY and COMMAND are recognizable starting points.
  • Collins includes 126 matches, NWL2023 has 104, and ENABLE has 90; membership overlaps.
  • 56 end in S, while 16 end in E and 14 end in A.
  • T begins 21 matches, ahead of C at 18.

Which familiar words match the pattern?

COMPANY, COMMAND, COMPARE, SUMMARY, COMPACT, and COMPASS show how varied the open slots can be. Each places M third and A fifth, but the opening letters range from C to S, and the endings include both Y and S. RAMPANT and RAMPAGE are another pair: both start with R and share the fixed positions, yet their last two letters differ.

Use the known letters as anchors instead of guessing the whole word at once. If the first two slots are C-O, compare COMPANY, COMMAND, COMPACT, and COMPASS against your crossing letters; if the word ends in Y, SUMMARY is a familiar candidate. These examples do not cover the rarer entries, so confirm an unfamiliar play in your game's chosen dictionary.

Which matching words score highest?

JIMJAMS scores 25 points, ahead of HAMZAHS at 24, JAMJARS at 23, and BUMBAZE at 22. Their high-value J and Z tiles drive the standout totals, but board premiums still depend on placement.

Treat the score leaders as vocabulary checks, not everyday guesses: only 12 of 131 matches fall within the common frequency range. For 7-letter words with M as the 3rd letter and A as the 5th letter, COMPANY and COMMAND are easier starting points for a familiar clue. Competitive play may reward learning less familiar entries; check your game's word list before playing an unusual term.

Questions people ask

How many of these seven-letter words are common?
12 matches are common by our frequency cutoff. COMPANY, COMMAND, and SUMMARY are recognizable examples that fit the fixed M and A positions. Most of the 131 matches are less familiar, so an everyday vocabulary clue will narrow the choices quickly.
Which letter appears most often at the start?
T starts the most matches, with 21 words, followed by C with 18. S comes next with 13, then G with 11. If your pattern has an unknown first letter, testing T and C first follows the strongest starting-letter counts.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
JIMJAMS is the top scorer at 25 points. HAMZAHS scores 24, JAMJARS scores 23, and BUMBAZE scores 22. Their J and Z tiles boost their totals, though the final board score depends on where you place the word.
