The pattern is _ _ G R _, and only 10 entries qualify across Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE. ANGRY and AGGRO are among the recognizable options; just two matches count as common. That makes this a narrow clue list, not a broad set of everyday guesses.

At a glance: the G-R pattern

  • Ten five-letter entries match the fixed pattern _ _ G R _ across tournament dictionaries.
  • Two of the 10 matches count as common words.
  • All 10 are valid in Collins; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include four.
  • JAGRA leads the Scrabble scores at 13 points; AGGRY follows at 10.
  • One match is a Wordle answer, while all 10 are allowed guesses.

Which words fit the G-R pattern?

Five matches begin with A, including ANGRY and AGGRO. The other first letters are E, J, N, P, and T, each represented once. If the first letter is still unknown, that A-heavy split gives you a quick way to narrow the possibilities.

The final letters are unusually balanced: two matches each end in A, E, I, O, or Y. A confirmed last letter therefore leaves two candidates to check, rather than pointing to one answer by itself.

5-letter words with G in position 3 and R in position 4

For Wordle, this pattern has one answer and 10 allowed guesses. The answer count is much smaller than the full clue set, so don’t treat every dictionary match as a possible solution. Use the fixed third- and fourth-letter greens, then test a known first or last letter to separate candidates.

JAGRA scores 13 points, while TUGRA and EAGRE score 6 each; the 8.1-point average hides that spread. Seven matches have dictionary definitions, so several entries are poor guesses when you need a familiar word. Collins accepts all 10, but NWL2023 and ENABLE each accept four, so check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar match.
