How many 7-letter words have R second and M fifth?
Among the 74 matches, first letters T, G, and B lead with 14, 12, and 10 words respectively. C, D, and P each start 8; F starts 4, and A starts 2. When your clue reveals the first letter, test T, G, or B early rather than scanning every possible opening.
Endings cluster too: 24 words finish N, 16 finish R, and 13 finish D. FREEMAN and GRAMMAR show how that last tile separates candidates sharing the fixed R and M. Several entries also end S, but N is the clearest initial filter.
Dictionary counts vary: Collins has 71, NWL2023 62, and ENABLE 55. Those totals overlap within 74 matches, and only 10 entries fall in the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Many matches are specialist vocabulary, so check your game's word list before banking on an unfamiliar form.
Which words score well in Scrabble?
KRIMMER tops the score list at 15 points. TRIUMPH, CRAMMED, BRAHMAN, BRAHMIN, CREWMAN, CREWMEN, and BRIMMED each score 14, just behind it. Save KRIMMER for a premium square or a rack that needs a high-value K; a familiar-looking word does not necessarily beat it on score.
For 7-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and M as the 5th letter, the five open positions still create many shapes. Try word families you recognize—TRIUMPH, DRUMMER, TRIMMED—then use the final letter and your game's dictionary as checks.
