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

The pattern is _ _ G L _, and its small pool has a clear shape: nine of the 13 words end in E. ANGLE and EAGLE are familiar examples; FUGLY and BIGLY lead the letter-score rankings. Dictionary coverage varies too: Collins accepts all 13, while ENABLE includes eight.

At a glance: a compact pattern with an E-heavy finish

• Thirteen five-letter words match G in position three and L in position four.
• Nine end in E; two end in Y, while A and O appear once each.
• A, B, and F each begin three words; E, I, P, and S begin one apiece.
• Collins includes 13 matches, NWL2023 includes 11, and ENABLE includes eight.
• Three are common by frequency, and all three matching Wordle answers appear in tournament dictionaries.

Which matching words score the most?

FUGLY scores 12 points, ahead of BIGLY at 11. FOGLE and FUGLE score 9 each; BUGLE, BOGLE, and PAGLE score 8. ANGLE, EAGLE, and ANGLO sit at 6 points apiece.

The highest scorer ends in Y, even though E dominates the final position. That contrast is a useful reminder: a common pattern does not guarantee the strongest tile score. Check premium squares and crossing letters before choosing by face value.

Only three matches count as common by frequency, so several options are likely to feel unfamiliar. Eight have definitions available. In a real game, check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry.

How do 5-letter words with G third and L fourth fit Wordle?

The Wordle answer pool has three matches, while all 13 are allowed guesses. A legal guess can test letters without being a possible solution, so keep those two pools separate as you narrow the board.

The starting letters offer a practical way to sort candidates: A, B, and F each account for three words, while E, I, P, and S account for one each. If your first letter is known, that split quickly trims the options; if it is not, avoid treating ANGLE or EAGLE as the only plausible shapes.

For nearby patterns, changing the fourth letter opens a different search: five-letter words with G in the third position and E in the fourth include 68 matches. The 13-word G-L group is a much narrower filter.
