AG- opens nine of the 12, and the group leans on one four-letter run: agamic, agamid, agamis and ogamic all contain G-A-M-I. The ending splits toward -IC, which closes five matches, and -IS, which closes four. No match is a common word, and ENABLE holds only four of the 12.
The G-I pattern at a glance
- 12 spellings fit ?G??I?, and none is a common word.
- Nine open AG-, leaving just ngatis, ogamic and ugalis.
- Five close -IC and four -IS, so nine share those two tails.
- ENABLE lists only four matches; Collins has 11.
- AGAMIC and OGAMIC tie for top score at 11.
6-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and I as the 5th letter
Four matches share the four-letter run G-A-M-I: agamic, agamid, agamis and ogamic. Hand those letters to a crossword or anagram clue and the answer is almost certainly one of the four, with only the first and last tiles changing.
The -IC ending narrows things further. Five matches close that way (agaric, agamic, agogic, agonic, ogamic), and four close -IS (agamis, agutis, ngatis, ugalis). Between them those endings account for nine of the 12 matches.
Which of the 12 scores best?
Scores are low and tightly packed. AGAMIC and OGAMIC share the top on 11, then AGAMID, AGOGIC and AGYRIA sit on 10 and AGARIC, AGAMIS and AGONIC on 9. The whole list runs from 7 to 11, a four-point spread.
Four matches sit at the floor of 7, and nothing in the group carries a Z, an X or a J. That keeps every score in a narrow band no matter how the tiles fall.
Will ENABLE accept these words?
ENABLE keeps just four of the 12, and AGYRIA is missing from Collins even though NWL2023 accepts it. With an 11-point ceiling and no common words, the 6-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and I as the 5th letter are puzzle material rather than a tournament plan.
