Which words fit this letter pattern?

The 141 matches all have M third and R sixth; their first and last letters still vary. COMPARE and COMFORT start with C, while MEMBERS and MEMOIRS start with M. That range makes the fixed letters a strong filter, not a complete guess.

C is the most common first letter, with 18 words; S follows with 17. At the other end, 87 matches finish in S, while 17 finish in Y. When your crossing letters are uncertain, checking an S ending first covers far more of this set than starting with Y.

How do scores and dictionary coverage compare?

JAMJARS scores 23 points, ahead of ZIMMERS, MAMZERS, and MOMZERS at 20 each. JUMPERS and JAMMERS score 18 apiece. Those less familiar, high-value options are worth checking when a rack contains J or Z, but confirm the word is accepted before playing it.

Collins includes 138 of these entries, compared with 109 in NWL2023 and 102 in ENABLE. Those counts overlap, so they do not add up to 141 separate words. The collection also has 122 defined entries, but most matches are not among the 17 common words; check your game's word list, especially before relying on an unusual scorer.

For nearby patterns, the N-third and R-sixth combination has 315 matches, more than twice this set's 141. Keeping M fixed while changing the sixth letter to E produces 402 matches. The narrower M-and-R pattern is a precise clue, but it leaves fewer everyday choices.
