The five-letter words that start with M and end in E number 45 in our dictionary. About 18 of them are common, which is the group most players will recognise on sight, and the remainder are rarer words that still count in the majority of games. The list is complete, computed from the full word list rather than typed by hand, so you can trust that nothing is missing. The best scorer is MAIZE, at 16 points.

How to use this page

Use this list in two ways. Browse it to learn the words that start with M and end in E, common ones first, or search it by typing your own letters, with question marks for blanks, to see only the words you can make. Every word shows its classic tile score, and linked words open a page with all their sub-words.

Tips

Hooks are single letters added to the front or back of an existing word to make a new one, and they are the cheapest way to score in a crowded game. Look through the words on this page for ones that become a different valid word with one more letter, or that can be formed by extending a shorter word already on the board. Suffixes such as S, ED, ER and ING, and prefixes such as RE and UN, do most of the work. A hook lets you play a second word in parallel and collect both scores.

Questions

What is the highest-scoring word among the five-letter words starting with M and ending in E?

MAIZE scores 16 points with classic tile values, ignoring board multipliers. The full top ten is in the quick facts above; switch the tile set on the search tool if you play with different letter values.

Why are some of these words unfamiliar?

27 of the 45 words on this page are tagged rare, meaning they fall outside the usual spell-check vocabulary. They are still real words, and many are legal plays, but you should expect a challenge if someone asks you to define them.
