7-letter words with M as the 3rd letter and M as the 6th letter

The pattern fixes two M positions, leaving five letters to distinguish each result. All 16 matches appear in Collins, while 12 appear in NWL2023 and 9 in ENABLE; those dictionary counts overlap. Familiar-looking forms such as POMPOMS and ROMCOMS sit beside much less common entries.

The pattern at a glance

• Sixteen seven-letter words match both fixed M positions in at least one tournament dictionary.
• All 16 are in Collins; 12 are in NWL2023 and 9 are in ENABLE.
• Fifteen matches end in S; COMSYMP is the lone word ending in P.
• None rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• JIMJAMS leads the score list at 25 points, ahead of KUMKUMS at 19.

How many 7-letter words have M in positions 3 and 6?

There are 16 matches. That is a narrow set: keeping M in the sixth position but using R in the third produces 57 seven-letter matches. The third-position M is the tighter constraint, so check both fixed squares before trying to extend a partial pattern.

The final S is a striking feature, not a requirement: 15 words end that way, but COMSYMP does not. Several entries have a doubled or repeated sound, including POMPOMS, DUMDUMS, and HUMHUMS. ROMCOMS is another recognizable form, while KUMKUMS and COMSYMP are less familiar.

The pattern also makes a poor shortcut to everyday vocabulary. None of its matches meet the common-word cutoff, so a familiar-looking spelling is not proof that your game accepts it. The dictionary split matters too: Collins includes more of these words than NWL2023 or ENABLE.
