That fixed AG opening gives you a compact set, but the entries vary sharply in familiarity and dictionary coverage. AGAIN, AGREE, and AGENT are recognizable; many other matches are less common. The endings also offer a clue: E and S lead the group, while A, T, I, and Y appear less often.

The AG pattern at a glance

  • 45 tournament-dictionary words fit the pattern: 31 appear in ENABLE, 44 in Collins, and 36 in NWL2023.
  • Only 6 meet our common-word frequency cutoff, so many matches will look unfamiliar.
  • AGAZE tops the scoring list at 15 points; AGGRY follows at 10.
  • Final E is most frequent with 11 words, followed by S with 9.

How many of these words are Wordle answers?

Ten words with this opening appear in the raw Wordle answer list, and all ten also occur in a tournament dictionary. The answer set is smaller than the full list: all 45 matches are marked as allowed guesses, but only 10 are answers.

Dictionary coverage changes by game. Collins includes 44 of these words, compared with 36 in NWL2023 and 31 in ENABLE, so an entry accepted in one word game may not work in another. Several familiar options, including AGENT and AGREE, are easier to recognize than the full set.

5-letter words with A as the 1st letter and G as the 2nd letter

Use the ending as a second filter when the first two letters are fixed. E and S together account for 20 of the 45 matches; A is next with 5, while T has 4. If your board or clue rules out E and S, you can quickly focus on a much smaller remainder.

For a familiar starting point, test examples such as AGAIN, AGREE, AGENT, AGONY, or AGATE against the known letters. AGAZE is the standout scorer, not necessarily the easiest everyday guess. Only 6 entries meet the common-word cutoff, and dictionary coverage differs, so check your game's word list before relying on a rare match.

Questions people ask

Are all 45 five-letter AG words Wordle answers?
No, only 10 of the 45 matches appear in the Wordle answer list. The full set is marked as 45 allowed guesses, which is a different category. All 10 answer-list entries also occur in a tournament dictionary.
Which A-G word has the highest Scrabble score?
AGAZE leads the scoring list at 15 points. AGGRY scores 10, while AGONY, AGAVE, AGLOW, AGHAS, and AGLEY each score 9. The highest scorer is an unusual word, so score alone does not make it a practical everyday guess.
How many common words have A first and G second?
Six matches meet our common-word frequency cutoff. The full set contains 45 tournament-dictionary entries, so most are outside that common group. AGAIN, AGREE, and AGENT are recognizable examples, but familiarity does not guarantee acceptance in every game's dictionary.
