Which 6-letter words have G third and O last?

The 10 matches are BAGUIO, GIGOLO, LEGATO, COGITO, RIGHTO, FUGATO, VIGORO, REGULO, BAGNIO and ANGICO. Try the more recognizable LEGATO, GIGOLO or COGITO first if your other letters fit; the remaining entries are less familiar.

The first letter offers a small clue: B and R each begin two matches, while A, C, F, G, L and V begin one apiece. That leaves no single starting letter as a shortcut. Check each known tile against the fixed G and final O before testing a less familiar word.

Which matches score highest, and where do they fit?

RIGHTO, FUGATO and VIGORO lead at 10 Scrabble points each, before any board bonuses. BAGUIO, COGITO, BAGNIO and ANGICO score 9; GIGOLO scores 8, while LEGATO and REGULO score 7. The average tile score across the matches is 8.8.

Only seven of the ten matches have dictionary definitions, so several are best treated as valid tile combinations rather than everyday words. Collins accepts all 10, while ENABLE and NWL2023 accept only six. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry, and lean on LEGATO or GIGOLO when a plain word is safer.
