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.

Questions people ask

Does AGREED fit the G-second, R-third pattern?
Yes. AGREED has six letters, with G in position two and R in position three. It is one of the more recognizable matches, alongside AGREES. The pattern confirms the letter positions, but it does not guarantee acceptance in every game’s dictionary.
Which final letters are most common in this word pattern?
E and S tie as the most common endings, with five matches apiece. AGREED ends in D, while OGRESH and OGRISM represent the H and M endings. If your final tile is known, E and S keep the largest remaining groups.
What is the highest-scoring word with G second and R third?
AGRYZE is the highest scorer in this group at 19 Scrabble points, with AGRIZE next at 16. Their Z tiles drive those totals. The scores are for the base words, so a board bonus can change the points earned in a game.
