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

A double G in the middle leaves a short, distinctive set: eggcup, eggnog, and egging are among the recognizable examples. The starting letter and ending vary, but the pattern stays fixed in every match, and dictionary coverage differs too: Collins includes all 15, while NWL2023 and ENABLE accept smaller subsets. None meet the listed common-word cutoff, so expect some unfamiliar entries.

At a glance: the double-G pattern

• Exactly 15 tournament-dictionary words have G in both the second and third positions.
• Collins includes all 15 matches; NWL2023 includes 11, and ENABLE includes 8.
• Eight words start with E, four start with A, and I, O, and U each start one.
• Six end in S; four end in G, while R is the final letter in two.
• Eggcup leads the scoring list at 12 points, ahead of eggery at 11.

Which six-letter GG words score highest?

Eggcup is the top scorer at 12 points, with eggery next at 11. Both put the double G to work, but eggcup adds a C and P, while eggery finishes with a Y. On a standard Scrabble board, those values make eggcup the strongest base play among these matches.

Egging, eggnog, igging, ugging, and aggada each score 9 points. Aggies, eggers, and aggers score 8. The average score across the set is 8.8, so eggcup stands out rather than reflecting a generally high-scoring group.

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

Start by checking the first letter: E accounts for eight matches, twice as many as A. If your rack or clue points to an ending, S is the strongest lead with six options; G follows with four. These counts narrow the search without requiring you to memorize the whole set.

The limitation is plain: none of the 15 qualify as common words, and dictionary acceptance varies. Eggcup and eggnog are easy to recognize, but entries such as eggery and igging are less familiar. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar match; Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE do not share identical coverage.
