With 109 qualifying entries, this pattern is broader than its fixed ends suggest, but only 18 rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. GENTLE, GARAGE, GLANCE, GROOVE, and GREASE are recognizable options; GIGGLE and GOBBLE repeat letters, while GENOME and GRIEVE have very different middle shapes. The four open positions, not the G or E, are where your crossing clues do the real filtering; changing the final E to S gives the G-starting pattern 303 matches.

G-at-start, E-at-end word facts

  • There are 109 six-letter matches with G first and E last.
  • Collins covers 107; NWL2023 has 72, while ENABLE has 66.
  • Only 18 fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • The average score is 9 points; GUZZLE leads at 25.
  • The G…S ending pattern has 303 matches, against 109 ending in E.

Which familiar words begin with G and end in E?

Familiar choices include GENTLE, GARAGE, GLANCE, GROOVE, GREASE, and GAMBLE. Those words make the pattern easy to recognize, but don't assume every match is everyday vocabulary. The examples also include GOOGLE, GREECE, GRANDE, GRUNGE, GRIEVE, and GROUSE, giving the middle letters several distinct shapes.

GIGGLE and GOBBLE repeat a consonant; GENOME and GLANCE do not. GIRLIE and GOODIE add another pair of recognizable options. When a rack or puzzle supplies both end letters, work through the four middle positions from crossing clues instead of forcing one vowel pattern.

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

The highest scorer is GUZZLE at 25 points, well ahead of GROSZE at 16 and GIDJEE at 15. The top results show a useful board-game distinction: an ordinary-looking word such as GUZZLE brings a strong score, while the next two entries are less familiar and harder to spot.

Among recognizable alternatives, GAUCHE scores 12, and GAMBLE and GOBBLE each score 11. The pattern's average is 9 points, so GUZZLE is an outlier rather than a typical result. Counts also depend on the game's lexicon: ENABLE contains 66 matches, NWL2023 has 72, and Collins has 107, so check your game's word list before banking on a less familiar entry.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words start with G and end with E?
There are 109 six-letter matches with G in the first position and E in the last. That total combines entries from tournament dictionaries; the individual dictionary counts differ, so the same word set is not guaranteed in every game.
What is the highest-scoring G-starting, E-ending word?
GUZZLE is the top scorer at 25 points. GROSZE scores 16, followed by GIDJEE at 15; these exceed the 9-point average for the pattern. GUZZLE is the standout if your goal is letter value rather than familiar vocabulary.
Which common words fit the G…E pattern?
GENTLE, GARAGE, GLANCE, GROOVE, and GREASE are recognizable fits. GIGGLE and GOBBLE also match, with repeated consonants in the middle. The set has 18 common entries under the frequency cutoff, so many remaining matches are less familiar.
