What word shapes fill the N-M frame?

UNARMED, INCOMES, ENZYMES, and UNNAMED show the main openings, while SNOWMAN and SNOWMEN add a compact pair with the same middle frame. The first letter is fairly diverse: U leads at 16, I has 15, and E has 13, leaving 11 entries across four other openings.

The strongest scores come from the Z cluster: ENZYMIC scores 23, ENZYMES 21, and ENJAMBS 18. Familiar UNKEMPT reaches 15. Since only seven matches are classed as common, many high-value options are specialized; check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

The five S-opening and O-opening examples are fewer, but they add distinctive shapes: SNOWMAN and SNOWMEN share a root, while OSMIUM supplies a different ending. The first three opening letters U, I, and E total 44 entries, leaving 11 starts across A, S, O, and P.

The final letters reinforce two main families. S closes 18 words, including INCOMES and ENZYMES; D closes 14, including UNARMED and UNNAMED. Snowman’s singular ending is N, so related word forms do not always land in the same ending group.
