5-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and G as the 5th letter

This pattern gives you a compact set, but the words vary sharply in familiarity. BEING is the only common entry; several others, such as RERIG and REPEG, are less likely to come to mind. The starting letters narrow the search further: six begin with R, four with D, and three with B.

The pattern at a glance

• Exactly 13 tournament-dictionary words have E second and G last.
• R begins six matches, D begins four, and B begins three.
• BEING is the only entry counted as common.
• REJIG scores 13 Scrabble points; BEFOG and BEWIG each score 11.
• Two words match the Wordle answer list, while all 13 are allowed guesses.

How many 5-letter words have E second and G fifth?

There are 13 5-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and G as the 5th letter. The opening letters are limited to R, D, and B: examples include REORG, DEBUG, and BEING.

The pattern also contains two Wordle answer-list matches, and every entry is an allowed guess. That distinction matters when you are solving: an allowed guess can test letters without being a possible answer. The matching words are not all equally familiar, so use the pattern to filter before relying on memory.

Which matching words score most?

For 5-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and G as the 5th letter, REJIG is the standout Scrabble scorer at 13 points. BEFOG and BEWIG tie at 11, followed by DEFOG at 10; DEBUG and DEBAG each score 9.

The dictionary counts are not identical: Collins and NWL2023 each include 12 matches, while ENABLE includes 9. Only 13 words appear across at least one of those tournament lists, and the set is mostly uncommon. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry; REJIG offers a strong score, but it is not a substitute for checking acceptance.
