6-letter words with B as the 1st letter and G as the 4th letter

The pattern is B _ _ G _ _: keep B fixed at the start and G in the fourth slot. The list spans several word-game dictionaries, but their coverage differs: Collins includes 94 matches, compared with 69 in NWL2023 and 64 in ENABLE. That overlap matters, so don’t add those counts together when checking whether a word is accepted in your game.

At a glance: the B _ _ G _ _ pattern

• There are 97 qualifying six-letter words across the covered tournament dictionaries.
• The ending E leads with 21 words; S, R, and D follow with 18, 17, and 16.
• Only 15 entries count as common English words, so expect plenty of specialist vocabulary.
• Bought, budget, bigger, and bright are recognizable examples that fit the pattern.
• Dictionary totals overlap: Collins has 94 matches, NWL2023 has 69, and ENABLE has 64.

Which endings appear most often?

Words ending in E form the largest group, with 21 matches. S is next at 18, followed by R at 17 and D at 16; those four endings account for most of the clear ending clusters.

That distribution gives you a practical way to narrow a rack or a crossword clue. If the final letter is still unknown, test E, S, R, and D before less frequent endings such as A, which appears just once.

How to use 6-letter words with B 1st and G 4th

Start by locking in the known letters, then compare likely endings against words you recognize: bought, budget, bigger, and bright all match. The set also includes forms such as begged, bagged, and bugged, so check whether the clue points to a verb form rather than a noun.

The range is wider than the everyday examples suggest: just 15 entries are classed as common, while the average score is 10.1. The highest scorers, braggy, bloggy, and bluggy, each score 13, but they are less familiar choices than bought or bright. Check your game’s word list before building a play around an obscure entry.
