Words with the letter M

The letter M is a strong mid-value tile in Scrabble, worth 3 points. It's commonly found in English words, which makes it a reliable letter to have on your rack. Short words like ma, me, and am are especially useful for fitting into tight spaces and making quick, efficient plays. Because of its point value, placing M on double or triple letter score tiles can yield a nice boost, even with short words. M also works well in word beginnings and endings, allowing you to build off existing tiles and open up new areas of the board.

To use M effectively, look for chances to create longer, high-scoring words such as mend, math, moist, or magic. These can be especially powerful when played across premium word squares. M is also useful in common prefixes and suffixes, like mis-, man-, or -ment, which can help you extend current words and score multiple times in one turn. With a solid understanding of M-heavy words and smart tile placement, the letter M can be a dependable point earner in your Scrabble strategy.
