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

The fixed pattern is __M_X__, so the M and X positions do most of the filtering before you consider the other letters. All 11 matches are forms built around MIX, from remixes and remixed to the less familiar immixes. None ranks among the 25,000 most common English words, so expect a specialist word-game list rather than everyday vocabulary.

At a glance: the pattern and its standouts

• There are 11 tournament-dictionary matches with M third and X fifth.
• Every match is a form of MIX, including remixer, admixes, and unmixed.
• BEMIXED and IMMIXED tie for the top Scrabble score at 19 points.
• Five words end in D, five end in S, and remixer is the sole R-ending word.

How many 7-letter words have M third and X fifth?

The pattern has 11 matches across the tournament word lists. ENABLE and Collins each include 10, while NWL2023 includes all 11. Only 10 entries have definitions, and none falls within the common-word frequency cutoff.

The endings split neatly: admixed, bemixed, immixed, remixed, and unmixed end in D; admixes, bemixes, immixes, remixes, and unmixes end in S. Remixer breaks that pattern with its final R. For another position-five letter, the M-and-I pattern is a much larger search.

Which matches score highest?

BEMIXED and IMMIXED lead at 19 Scrabble points apiece. ADMIXED, BEMIXES, and IMMIXES follow at 18; REMIXED and UNMIXED score 17. The set averages 17.4 points, so even its lower-ranked entries carry strong letter value.

For a board search, lock in M at position three and X at position five before testing the remaining tiles. Then check the ending: D and S cover 10 of the 11 answers, while R identifies remixer. These are uncommon forms, so check your game's word list before relying on one.
