The ?NM???? frame is unusually concentrated at the front: 24 of its 28 entries begin with U. UNMOVED, UNMIXED, UNMANLY, and UNMASKS show how often the pattern appears after the prefix UN. The spread at the end is less lopsided, with D and S leading the final-letter counts.

At a glance for this letter pattern

  • 28 matches keep N second and M third.
  • U begins 24 entries; E begins three and I begins one.
  • D closes 10 words and S closes eight.
  • UNMIXED scores 17, the highest listed total.

Why does the U opening dominate?

U starts 24 of the 28 entries, so the pattern is largely an UNM sequence rather than a balanced set of openings. UNMOVED, UNMIXED, UNMANLY, and UNMATED make that concentration easy to recognize. The few alternatives include only three E openings and one I opening.

UNMIXED leads at 17 points, followed by UNMIXES at 16 and UNMACHO at 14. D endings appear ten times and S endings eight, as in UNMOVED and UNMASKS. Only one entry is classed as common, so the familiar prefix should not make every candidate feel equally safe; check your game’s word list.

The final-letter counts add another useful split: ten words end in D, eight in S, and the remaining ten are spread across six other letters. UNMOVED and UNMIXED show the D group; UNMASKS and UNMUTES show the S group. This makes the final tile a quick second filter after the heavily concentrated U opening.

UNMIXED and UNMIXES sit close in both spelling and score, at 17 and 16 points. Their shared M sequence can make them easy to mix up under time pressure. Read the final two tiles before committing; a one-point difference does not compensate for putting a valid word in the wrong squares.

7-letter words with N second and M third

Tip

If you know the second and third tiles are N-M, search U first: it covers 24 entries. Then use the last tile to separate the ten D endings from the eight S endings.

Which matching word scores highest?
UNMIXED is the top scoresr at 17 points. UNMIXES scores 16, while UNMACHO scores 14. The one-point gap between the first two makes board placement important when both fit, and the more familiar UNMOVED scores 13.
What endings are most common in this pattern?
D is the final letter for ten entries, and S for eight. UNMOVED and UNMASKS illustrate those main groups. Y, R, T, E, L, and O account for the remaining six words, so the ending still separates candidates even within a U-heavy pattern.
