5-letter words with G as the 3rd letter and A as the 4th letter

The fixed pattern is __GA_: only the first two and final letters change. The 55 matches include everyday choices such as BEGAN, ORGAN, and VEGAN, alongside less familiar entries like ZIGAN and VAGAL. Thirteen are common by frequency, so the pattern offers a small usable core rather than a uniformly obscure word bank; all 55 appear in Collins, while fewer qualify in NWL2023 or ENABLE.

5-letter words with G as the 3rd letter and A as the 4th letter

• The pattern has 55 tournament-dictionary matches; the fixed letters leave three positions open.
• Thirteen matches meet the frequency cutoff; familiar examples include LEGAL, BEGAN, and SUGAR.
• Final S is most common at 16 matches, with N next at 14 and L at 10.
• Ten matching entries appear as Wordle answers; all 55 are also allowed guesses.
• The average Scrabble score is 7.7 points, while ZYGAL leads the scoring list at 18.

Which endings narrow the pattern fastest?

S is the most common ending, with 16 matches; N follows at 14, then L at 10. When your grid shows __GA_ and the final tile is S, test VEGAS, SAGAS, or NAGAS. An N ending brings BEGAN, ORGAN, VEGAN, and HOGAN into view.

Those endings narrow the search quickly, though the less familiar matches broaden the set.

A is the leading opening letter with nine matches, followed by B with six and R with five. ALGAE and ARGAN sit alongside BEGAN and REGAL, so the pattern is not tied to one opening. The same pattern with R in the third position has 130 matches, compared with 55 for G; that makes G a much tighter filter.

How do scores and Wordle status compare?

For 5-letter words with G as the 3rd letter and A as the 4th letter, ZYGAL is the scoring standout at 18 points; ZIGAN follows at 15, while JUGAL and JAGAS score 13. Wordle draws a different line: 10 matches are answers, but the full set of 55 is allowed as guesses.

The limitation is vocabulary and dictionary coverage: 55 match Collins, 39 match NWL2023, and 36 match ENABLE, so some legal entries will not carry across every game. Treat ZYGAL as a score play, not a likely everyday guess.
