The pattern is G _ _ _ E _, leaving three middle tiles to solve. Familiar entries include garden, golden, gender, and gather. Only 41 matches count as common by word frequency, so many entries are less familiar; dictionary coverage varies, with Collins including 372 matches, compared with 270 in NWL2023 and 253 in ENABLE.

Quick facts about this G-and-E pattern

The fixed letters are G in position one and E in position five.
There are 379 tournament-dictionary matches in total.
Garden, golden, and gender are recognizable examples.
The most frequent final letters are D, S, and R.
Gizzen and gizzes lead the scoring examples at 25 points.
The same pattern appears in 87 five-letter words and 215 seven-letter words.

Which letters finish these six-letter words?

D is the most common ending, with 118 matches; S follows with 94, and R with 88. These endings account for much of the pattern, so try them early when your last tile is still unknown. Examples include gained, grades, gather, and gender.

The remaining endings are less frequent. T appears 29 times and N appears 22 times, while Y, L, and E are each much rarer. A word such as golden ends in N, whereas gather ends in R; matching the final tile can quickly separate plausible candidates.

What scores well, and where should you check?

Gizzen and gizzes each score 25 points in Scrabble, making them the strongest scoring examples here. They are far less familiar than garden or golden, so treat them as rack plays rather than everyday vocabulary. Glazed, grazed, and glozed score 17 points apiece.

The 379 total counts words appearing in at least one tournament dictionary, not words accepted by every game. Collins covers 372 matches, while NWL2023 covers 270 and ENABLE covers 253. The overlap is substantial, but the counts differ; check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

Questions people ask

Are all 379 words accepted in every word game?

No, the 379 matches are the combined total across tournament dictionaries, not a promise that every game accepts every entry. Collins includes 372, NWL2023 includes 270, and ENABLE includes 253. Check the specific word list used by your game when an unfamiliar match matters.

Which G-and-E words score the most in Scrabble?

Gizzen and gizzes are the top scoring examples at 25 points each. Glazed, grazed, and glozed score 17 points apiece. The less familiar high scorers are best considered when their letters fit your rack and board.

What are common six-letter words with G first and E fifth?

Garden, golden, gender, and gather are familiar examples of the pattern. The frequency measure classifies 41 matches as common, so the full set also includes many less familiar words. Use the fixed G and E positions to check candidates against your other known letters.
