The pattern leaves four open spaces between the first A and the fifth G, but only 24 tournament-dictionary words fit. The best-known options are a small minority: just 3 entries meet the common-word cutoff. Use the fixed letters to narrow a puzzle first, then judge each candidate by how familiar it looks.

A short list with a few familiar words

  • There are 24 six-letter matches, all supported by at least one tournament dictionary.
  • ASSIGN, AVENGE, and ALLEGE are recognizable options among the examples.
  • Collins includes 23 matches; NWL2023 includes 13, and ENABLE includes 11.
  • Only 3 entries meet the common-word cutoff.
  • ADJIGO leads the scoring list at 15 points.

Which words fit A first and G fifth?

ASSIGN, AVENGE, and ALLEGE give you familiar starting points, while ASIAGO offers a less expected shape. The pattern fixes A _ _ _ G _, so the second, third, fourth, and final letters remain open. That makes the last letter a quick way to sort possible answers.

E is the most frequent ending, with 9 words. H and O each finish 4 matches, while S finishes 3; the remaining listed endings are A, I, N, and Y. If you know the final tile, start with that group instead of scanning all 24 candidates.

How do the top scores compare?

ADJIGO scores 15 points, ahead of AWEIGH at 13. ABEIGH and ACHAGE tie at 12, followed by AMBAGE at 11. AVENGE and ANERGY each score 10, so the most familiar choices do not lead the scoring list.

For 6-letter words with A as the 1st letter and G as the 5th letter, the catch is that a valid match may still be obscure or absent from your game’s word list. Definitions are available for 13 of the 24 entries, and the average score is 9.2. Check the specific game dictionary before playing a rare form.

There are 24 six-letter words with A in the first position and G in the fifth. ASSIGN, AVENGE, and ALLEGE are among the recognizable examples. The count includes words found in at least one tournament dictionary, rather than every possible spelling in broader word collections.
Which A _ _ _ G _ word scores the most?
ADJIGO is the top scorer in this pattern at 15 points. AWEIGH follows at 13, while ABEIGH and ACHAGE each score 12. These totals compare the words themselves; board bonuses can change a play’s final game score.
Do all 24 matches appear in Collins?
