6-letter words with G as the 3rd letter and U as the 4th letter

The pattern is _ _ G U _ _, so the two middle letters are fixed while the first, fifth, and sixth positions do the sorting. Collins lists all 65 matches; ENABLE accepts 46 and NWL2023 accepts 47. Familiar entries sit beside specialist vocabulary, so a word that fits the letters still needs to fit your game's dictionary, and the three-letter frame gives you a quick way to narrow a rack or a crossword clue.

How many 6-letter words have G third and U fourth?

• Exactly 65 tournament-dictionary words fit the pattern; only 7 count as common by frequency.
• Collins includes 65 matches, compared with 46 in ENABLE and 47 in NWL2023.
• S is the leading final letter: 21 words end that way. A, D, and E each finish six.
• A starts 10 matches, while R and V each start seven.

Which familiar words fit the G-U pattern?

Several recognizable entries make the fixed GU easier to spot: AUGUST, FIGURE, YOGURT, and JAGUAR all fit. The pattern also includes ARGUED, ARGUES, and ROGUES, where the ending changes while G-U stays put. Those examples begin with different letters, so the pattern is not limited to one word family.

For a partly solved clue, use the final letter as a quick filter. S is the strongest ending with 21 matches, while A, D, and E each have six. The first letter is less concentrated: A leads with 10, and R and V have seven apiece.

A known ending may narrow the choices faster than guessing the first letter.

Which G-U words score the most?

JUGUMS is the top scorer at 16 points. JAGUAR and JUGULA tie at 14, so the less familiar JUGUMS beats both by two. Maguey scores 12, rounding out the high end with a more recognizable example.

The main limitation is dictionary coverage: Collins has 65 matches, but ENABLE has 46 and NWL2023 has 47. That gap matters when you play across different word lists; check your game's dictionary before relying on an obscure entry. Only 7 of the 65 words rank among the commonest English vocabulary, so many matches are better treated as puzzle candidates than everyday guesses.
