Every entry has A in slot two and G in slot three, so the pattern is _AG__. The set ranges from familiar MAGIC, EAGLE, and WAGON to less everyday entries such as WAGGA and MAGUS. Only 15 qualify as common words, making this a narrow clue rather than a broad everyday vocabulary group.
5-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and G as the 3rd letter
- 79 entries fit _AG__ across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
- Collins includes 76, NWL2023 includes 61, and ENABLE includes 56; the lists overlap.
- Only 15 entries meet the common-word cutoff; familiar examples include MAGIC, PAGES, WAGES, and EAGLE.
- R is the most frequent opening letter with ten entries; P has seven.
- S closes 25 entries, compared with 12 ending in R and ten ending in Y.
Which letters start and end these words?
The word endings lean strongly toward S. Twenty-five entries end in S; another 12 end in R and ten end in Y. If the final square is still open, test an S ending before assuming the pattern stays singular.
R leads as an opening letter with ten words, while P has seven. J, M, S, and W each contribute six. A guessed first letter narrows the choices quickly: R gives more options than any other initial, including familiar RAGED and RAGES.
Which matches are Wordle guesses, and what scores highest?
The Wordle set has 12 answer matches and 78 allowed-guess matches for this pattern. Those figures describe different roles: an answer candidate is not the same as a legal guess. Familiar options such as MAGIC and EAGER are easier to recognize than the full tournament-dictionary spread.
JAGGY leads the Scrabble scores at 17 points, followed by JAGGS at 14. BAGGY and WAGYU each score 12, while the average across the set is 8.7.
Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins lists 76, NWL2023 61, and ENABLE 56, with overlap between editions. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry such as WAGGA.
