6-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and I as the 4th letter

This fixed-letter pattern has a much shorter list than several nearby patterns: the matching A-second group has 510 words. Most matches here begin with A, while U is the next most common opening. Check the exact letter positions first, then scan the examples for a word that fits your game.

At a glance: the pattern and its strongest entries

• There are 32 six-letter matches, with G in position two and I in position four.
• A begins 13 entries; U is next with six, followed by E with five.
• AGNIZE, AGRIZE, and AGUIZE each score 16 points.
• Seven words end in E, while six end in G and five end in S.

Why do so many matches start with A?

The opening-letter split is unusually lopsided: 13 words start with A, more than twice the six that start with U. AGEING, AGEISM, AGEIST, and AGRIAS show how varied that A group is, while IGNITE and IGGING represent the smaller I group.

Endings offer another quick filter. E leads with seven words, then G with six; S and Y follow with five and four. If your clue fixes the final letter too, start with that distribution rather than checking all 32 candidates one by one.

Which matches are worth checking in a word game?

AGNIZE, AGRIZE, and AGUIZE top the scoring list at 16 points apiece; UGLIFY and IGNIFY score 13 each. Those high values come with a trade-off: the leading scorers are less familiar than AGEING or IGNITE, so confirm them in your game's dictionary before playing.

Dictionary coverage differs across the three tournament lists. Collins includes all 32 matches, compared with 19 in ENABLE and 21 in NWL2023. Only two entries count as common by frequency, so many candidates are specialized or uncommon.

Even so, matching the letters is not the same as finding an accepted word. A game that drops the rarer entries will reject some of these 32.
