How many 7-letter words have T first and M sixth?

There are 24 7-letter words with T as the 1st letter and M as the 6th letter. That is fewer than the 59 matches for S in the first position with M sixth, and far below the 566 matches for T first with E sixth. The sixth-letter M is the tight filter here.

The endings are concentrated: S and E account for 17 of the 24 words. “Tandems,” “truisms,” and “talcums” show the S ending; “teatime” and “twosome” show the E ending. Check the final tile once the two fixed positions are in place.

Which matches score highest?

THYMOMA and THRUMMY each score 17, the top tile score in this group. TRIGAMY follows at 13, while TWOSOME, TRISOMY, and THALAMI each score 12. The two leaders are less familiar than “tsunami,” so check legality before committing them in a tournament game.

For 7-letter words with T as the 1st letter and M as the 6th letter, don’t treat the small count as a promise of everyday vocabulary: just one match meets the frequency threshold for common words. Keep “tsunami” in mind as a recognizable option, then use the exact letter slots to test the rest rather than guessing from a word’s sound.
