The M sits in a busy spot: 689 entries qualify, though only 61 rank among the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq. Familiar examples include IMPORTANT, EMPLOYEES, EMERGENCY, and EMOTIONAL. The results span three tournament dictionaries, so a familiar-looking word is not automatically accepted in every game.

The pattern at a glance

689 entries fit the nine-letter pattern with M in position two.
IMPORTANT, EMPLOYEES, and EMERGENCY are recognizable examples.
61 entries meet the top-25,000 wordfreq cutoff for common words.
EMBEZZLED leads the score list at 32 points.
S is the most frequent final letter, appearing in 233 entries.

Which letters begin and end these words?

I leads the starting-letter group with 215 words, followed by E with 196 and A with 146. Those three openings dominate the pattern; only one entry begins with G. Try the first-letter clue before testing less common openings.

The final letters tell a different story: 233 words end in S, while E appears at the end of 102 and G at the end of 90. D closes 69 entries. If your puzzle already fixes a final S, that ending is the strongest match in this set.

Together, the opening and ending clues narrow the search quickly. For example, an I-starting candidate has a much larger pool than a G-starting one, while a final S is more common than any other ending.

How do 9-letter words with M as the 2nd letter score?

EMBEZZLED scores 32 points, ahead of EMBEZZLER and EMBEZZLES at 31 each. SMOKEJACK reaches 28, while AMBERJACK scores 26. Those high values come from premium letters such as Z and J, not simply from using all nine tiles.

The average score is 15, so the top scorers are outliers rather than a typical result. For 9-letter words with M as the 2nd letter, the count also sits close to the 693 eight-letter matches; the total drops to 643 at ten letters.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 674 entries, NWL2023 includes 492, and ENABLE includes 423. Some words will not carry across all three lists, so check your game's word list before relying on an obscure scorer.

Questions people ask

How many nine-letter words have M as the second letter?

There are 689 nine-letter words with M in the second position. Examples include IMPORTANT, EMERGENCY, AMENDMENT, and AMBULANCE. Only 61 meet the common-word cutoff, so the full set reaches well beyond everyday vocabulary.

What is the highest-scoring word in this group?

EMBEZZLED is the top scorer at 32 points. EMBEZZLER and EMBEZZLES follow at 31 points each, with SMOKEJACK at 28. These scores reflect tile values before any board-square bonuses.

Which starting letter is most common in these words?

I is the most common starting letter, with 215 entries. E follows with 196 and A with 146, while just one word begins with G. IMPORTANT and IMMEDIATE show the I-M opening clearly.
