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

Nothing here needs a J, Q, X or Z. The list runs on G, P and the five-point Y, which is why GLYPHS and GYMPED reach 15 while the average sits near 11. Two tails do most of the work: 14 matches close -PED, mostly past-tense verbs, and nine close -PER as agent nouns.

The G-P pattern at a glance

• 49 six-letter spellings fit G??P??.
• Not one holds a J, Q, X or Z.
• -PED closes 14 matches and -PER nine, 23 together.
• GLYPHS and GYMPED tie for first at 15 points.
• Scores stay between 9 and 15, so the spread is narrow.
• Only three rank as common words, led by gospel and grapes.

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

The P in the fourth slot pulls the verb forms to the front. Fourteen matches end -PED, including gasped, gulped, griped and gimped, all past-tense verbs built on a shorter base. Nine more end -PER, the agent nouns: gasper, groper, gulper and gipper.

The opening pair spreads the rest across many small families. GR- supplies 17 matches and GA- another 10, while GY- adds six; every other pair reaches five or fewer. That spread means a fixed first tile rarely helps much on a G-P word.

Where do the G-P points come from?

Y is the scoring engine. GLYPHS and GYMPED tie on 15, and GYMPIE, GRIPPY, GLOPPY, GYPPER and GYPPIE all reach 14.

Every match above 13 points carries a Y. GAWPED adds 13 and GRAPHS 12, the best entries without one, so the top of this list stays clear of the rare tiles. Only 13 of the 49 matches carry a Y at all.

Which G-P words might your game refuse?

Collins lists all 49 matches but ENABLE only 28, so 21 of them will not play everywhere. Every one of the 6-letter words with G as the 1st letter and P as the 4th letter sits in Collins, but the smaller lists cut the pool hard, so confirm your word list before playing GYPPIE or GYPPER at 14 points.
