7-letter words with T as the 2nd letter and M as the 4th letter

The pattern is _T_M___, and its words are heavily tilted toward S: 41 of the 58 begin with that letter. Just six entries rank among common English words, so expect a mix of everyday vocabulary and less familiar tournament plays. ITEMIZE and ATOMIZE lead the scoring list, each worth 18 points before board bonuses.

7-letter words with T as the 2nd letter and M as the 4th

• There are 58 matches across the tournament dictionaries.
• STOMACH, STAMPED, STUMBLE, and STAMINA are recognizable examples.
• S starts 41 words; A starts 9, while E starts 4.
• ITEMIZE and ATOMIZE share the top score: 18 points each.
• Only 6 matches are common English words by frequency.

Why do so many matches start with S?

S accounts for 41 of these 58 words, making STOMACH, STAMPED, STUMBLE, and STAMINA the clearest first guesses when you know the opening letter. The next-largest group is A, with 9 matches; E contributes 4 and I contributes 3. P is the only other reported starting letter, with 1 word.

The ending letters are less concentrated: 13 words end in S, while D and E each finish 9. That makes the final tile a poor shortcut for choosing a starting letter. If your pattern is fixed but the first letter is open, try the S group before scanning the smaller A, E, and I groups.

Which matches score most, and where are they listed?

ITEMIZE and ATOMIZE score 18 points apiece, ahead of STOMACK and STEMBOK at 15. STOMACH and STUMBLY each score 14. The two leaders both contain Z, which supplies the scoring edge; a premium square can increase a play further, but these figures are base word scores.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 57 matches, NWL2023 includes 41, and ENABLE includes 40. STOMACH and STUMBLE are more approachable than the full set, since only 6 entries are common by frequency. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

For a tighter clue, 7-letter words with T as the 2nd letter and M as the 4th are only the starting pattern; fixing another position narrows the search.
