6-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and T as the 5th letter

The fixed letters leave only a small set of options, and two entries rank among common English words. AGENTS and IGNITE are easy to recognize; AGOUTY, EGOITY, and EGESTA are less familiar choices. All matches have G in position two and T in position five, so check both slots before trying a candidate.

At a glance: the pattern and its standouts

• The pattern has 12 six-letter matches across tournament dictionaries.
• AGENTS, IGNITE, and EGRETS each score 7 points.
• AGOUTY and EGOITY lead the scoring list at 10 points each.
• Five words end in S; A, E, and Y each finish two.

How many 6-letter G-second, T-fifth words are there?

There are 12 matches. Seven begin with A, four begin with E, and just one begins with I. That makes AGENTS, AGNATE, and AGLETS useful first checks when the opening letter is still unknown.

The endings narrow the choices further: S appears five times, while A, E, and Y each appear twice; I appears once. If your final letter is S, compare AGENTS, EGRETS, AGISTS, and EGESTS rather than guessing from the shared ending alone.

Which matching words score most?

AGOUTY and EGOITY top the scores at 10 points apiece. Most of the other named options score 7, including AGENTS, IGNITE, EGRETS, AGOUTI, and AGNATE. The less familiar high scorers can be worth checking when you already have the uncommon letters.

Collins includes 12 matches, compared with 10 in ENABLE and 10 in NWL2023. So the full set is not a safe assumption for every game: check your game's word list before playing a less familiar entry. Only two matches are common, which makes this pattern more of a constrained lookup than a set of everyday guesses.

For 6-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and T as the 5th letter, confirm the positions first, then use the final letter and your game's dictionary to trim the options.
