7-letter words with M as the 3rd letter and M as the 4th letter

The double M sits in the center, but these words start with a surprisingly broad mix of letters. G leads with 27 entries, ahead of M with 24 and C with 23. You’ll see familiar choices such as SUMMARY and COMMUTE alongside less common plays, so the pattern is a better clue than everyday vocabulary alone.

7-letter words with M as the 3rd letter and M as the 4th letter

The fixed pattern is __MM___: two unknown letters, the paired Ms, then three more letters. COMMENT and COMMAND show how common the opening “comm” is, while SUMMARY and SUMMITS prove the first two letters can vary. G-starting words are even more numerous than M-starting ones.

Final S stands out. COMMONS, SUMMERS and SUMMONS fit the same pattern, and 84 matches end in S. That makes the final tile a strong sorting clue when a board or word puzzle has already revealed the middle pair.

Which matches are worth checking in a word game?

For Scrabble scoring, HAMMOCK leads the familiar examples at 20 points, and JAMMING scores 19. Those totals come from the letters before any board-square bonuses, so a premium square can change the result. Keep an eye on the K in HAMMOCK and the J in JAMMING when planning a play.

The 189-word total combines entries found in at least one tournament dictionary; it does not mean every game accepts every word. Collins includes 186 matches, compared with 134 in NWL2023 and 126 in ENABLE. Check your game’s word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
