Pattern Notes

The doubled M is the signature of this pattern, and it shows up in AMMAN, EMMYS and EMMET. Most of the familiar words open with a vowel. The fifth box is most often N, S and T, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

How to Narrow It Down

Begin with A, E and U in the first box, because they open the largest groups. If the opener comes back grey, move to the ending and try N in the fifth box. The fixed M and M do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with M as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with M as the 3rd letter.
