This pattern locks G and R into the middle slots, leaving the first, fourth, fifth, and final letters open. That still produces a short list: AGREED and AGREES are among its more recognizable entries, while AGRYZE and AGRIZE stand out on a Scrabble rack. The sharpest distinction is at the word’s edges: most matches start with A, and the final letter is evenly split between E and S.
6-letter words with G as 2nd and R as 3rd letter
- There are 13 matches in Collins; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include nine.
- AGREED and AGREES are familiar examples among the pattern matches.
- Eight words start with A, compared with three starting with O and two with E.
- Five matches end in E and five end in S; the remaining endings are D, H, and M.
- Only two matches fall within the common-word group.
How do these words divide by first and last letter?
The 13 matches begin with just three letters: A, O, and E. That makes the first position a useful filter when your puzzle already reveals its opening tile. AGREED, AGREES, and AGRAFE begin with A; EGRESS and EGRETS show the smaller E group.
The endings form two equal groups. AGREED is the only match ending in D, while EGRESS and EGRETS illustrate the S ending.
The remaining endings are represented by OGRESH and OGRISM. Don't assume an S ending is more likely than E here: the counts are tied.
Which matching words score highest?
AGRYZE leads the listed Scrabble scores at 19 points, followed by AGRIZE at 16. Both use a Z, so they offer a very different scoring route from AGREED, which scores 8, or AGREES and EGRESS, each scoring 7. Those are base word scores; board premiums change the final total.
This is a narrow pattern list, not a broad set of everyday plays: only two matches are classed as common. The unusual high scorers may fit a rack or a specific game dictionary, but don’t treat the pattern alone as proof of validity. Check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
