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

• Collins carries 67 of the 68 words; NWL2023 holds 60 and ENABLE 55.
• Just 17 of the 68 rank among the commonest English words, so many candidates stay unfamiliar.
• The final letter is R in 24 words, S in 18, and D in 12.
• JAGER leads the score list at 13 points; FOGEY follows at 12.

Why do so many matches end in R or S?

R is the clear leader: 24 matches finish with it, including ANGER, TIGER, EAGER, and WAGER. S comes next with 18, covering plurals and verb forms such as PAGES, WAGES, URGES, and RAGES.

D adds another 12 options, including EDGED, WAGED, and URGED. Those three endings account for 54 of the 68 words, so checking the final tile first quickly narrows your choices. Only 5 end in Y; examples include BOGEY and CAGEY.

Which matches suit Wordle or a scoring play?

The pattern contains 10 Wordle answers and 68 allowed guesses. Those figures describe different pools: a word can be an allowed guess without being an answer. Try common candidates such as ANGEL, ANGER, or TIGER when they fit your revealed letters.

For a board-game play, JAGER is the top scorer at 13 points, but it is far less familiar than WAGES or TIGER. The 17 common words are a small slice of the full set; many remaining entries are obscure, and dictionary acceptance varies. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar candidate.
