6-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and A as the 3rd letter

The fixed middle pair G-A leaves the rest of each six-letter answer open, but the result is a compact, unusual group of dictionary-listed words. Most start with A, and 10 finish in S. AGATES and AGAVES are the clearest recognizable examples, and AGAZED stands out when board score matters; none ranks among our common-word entries, so expect specialist vocabulary rather than everyday guesses.

What stands out in this pattern?

• Exactly 19 tournament-dictionary entries fit the fixed G-A positions.
• AGATES and AGAVES show the familiar A-start cluster; 11 entries begin with A.
• Final S is the most common ending, appearing on 10 entries.
• AGAZED leads the score list at 17 points before board bonuses.

What 6-letter words have G second and A third?

The pattern fixes only positions two and three, so the first letter still varies. A leads with 11 words; N contributes three, while E, I, M, O, and U each contribute one. That gives you several entry points beyond the obvious AG- cluster.

Suffix clues narrow the set too: 10 words finish in S. C occurs at the end of three, D of two, and the remaining endings are A, E, I, and Y.

Among the non-A forms, MGANGA and NGAIOS show that the G-A sequence does not require an initial vowel. If your grid rules out S, try those less common tails.

Which matches score highest, and where are they accepted?

Six-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and A as the 3rd letter are not evenly represented across game dictionaries. Collins includes all 19 matches, while NWL2023 accepts 9 and ENABLE accepts 7. Check your game's word list before building around an unfamiliar entry.

AGAZED is the clear score play at 17 points, with AGAMIC and OGAMIC each scoring 11. AGAVES, MGANGA, EGALLY, and AGAMID score 10 apiece. Those are base word scores, so premium squares change the board result; AGAZED's high-value Z drives its lead.

The entries are mostly specialist vocabulary, not reliable everyday guesses.
