5-letter words with T as the 1st letter and G as the 4th letter

This pattern fixes the first and fourth letters, leaving three positions to solve. Familiar options include THIGH, TONGS, and TANGY, but only six of the 32 entries are common. The word pool also changes by dictionary: Collins includes 31 matches, while ENABLE includes 21.

• S is the most frequent final letter, appearing in 12 matches; A is next, with five.

• Collins has 31 matches, compared with 26 in NWL2023 and 21 in ENABLE.

Which matching words work in Wordle?

Five matches are Wordle answers, and all 32 are allowed guesses. That makes the pattern relevant both when you are narrowing an answer and when you want to test a fixed-position clue. The answer overlap does not tell you which five words are solutions.

For familiar candidates, try TOUGH, THIGH, TANGO, or TONGS against your known letters. TONGS and THUGS both show how often S completes the pattern: 12 of the 32 matches end in S.

Treat the word list as a candidate pool, not a promise that every entry is a likely answer. The six common words are a small share of the matches.

What are the best scoring and dictionary options?

THIGH leads the scoring list at 12 points, followed by TAGGY at 10. TOUGH, THUGS, TWIGS, and TANGY each score nine, while the group averages 7.1 points. Tile value puts THIGH first, though board placement still changes a play's total.

Vocabulary is the catch: 25 entries have definitions, but only six are common. Collins lists 31 pattern matches, against 26 in NWL2023 and 21 in ENABLE, so the same candidate may not be accepted in every game. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

The pattern is narrower than nearby choices: T first with E fourth has 146 matches, while S first with G fourth has 50. If neither fixed letter is certain, loosening one position opens a much larger pool.
