6-letter words with A as the 3rd letter and G as the 4th letter

The fixed middle letters create a compact set, but the words vary widely: LEAGUE and STAGES feel familiar, while QUAGGA and KNAGGY are much less common. Only 8 of the 60 fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The counts combine tournament-dictionary entries, so the same word can appear in more than one dictionary.

The endings narrow the search further. Fourteen words finish in Y, including SHAGGY and CRAGGY, while 13 finish in S, as in IMAGES and USAGES. Ten end in E, a useful clue when the last letter is already known.
