The fixed pattern is _G_A__; every match keeps G in position two and A in position four. The set ranges from IGUANA and AGHAST to less familiar entries such as AGGADA and OGHAMS. Seven words begin with A, while four end in E, making the opening and final letters useful extra clues.

The G-and-A pattern at a glance

  • Exactly 11 tournament-dictionary words match _G_A__.
  • All 11 appear in Collins; nine appear in NWL2023 and eight in ENABLE.
  • Seven matches start with A; two start with I.
  • E is the most frequent final letter, appearing four times.
  • OGHAMS leads the score list at 12 points.

Which words fit the six-letter pattern?

AGHAST, AGNATE, AGNAIL, and AGLARE show how often this pattern begins with A. IGUANA is the most recognizable I-starting example, and EGGARS gives you a different opening while preserving both fixed letters.

The endings add another way to narrow a rack or puzzle clue. Four words finish in E, including AGNATE, AGNAME, AGRAFE, and AGLARE. AGGADA and IGUANA end in A, while EGGARS and OGHAMS close with S.

The spread is unusually narrow: no match falls within the common-word group, though nine have definitions. That makes recognition less reliable than checking the letter slots; unfamiliar forms such as AGNAME and OGHAMS are still tournament-listed.

Scores stay modest across the board: the set averages 8.5 points, and OGHAMS at 12 is the only entry above AGHAST and AGRAFE at 10. Opening letters run seven A, two I, and one each E and O, so A is the branch worth testing first when the first tile is free.

How to use 6-letter words with G second and A fourth

Tip

Lock in _G_A__ first, then test the opening and ending letters. OGHAMS scores 12 points before board bonuses, but confirm your game's word list because dictionary coverage differs.
