How does this pattern compare with nearby ones?

The E-third, Y-sixth pattern has 172 matches, while this G pattern has 42. A-third with Y last reaches 200. The shared final Y does not make these searches equally broad; the letter in slot three changes the size of the pool sharply.

Only six of the 42 matches count as common words. HIGHLY, MIGHTY, EIGHTY, and LEGACY are easy starting points, while WIGGLY and ARGOSY extend the search into less familiar territory. Keep the fixed G in mind when testing a guess: a word that fits the ending but shifts G cannot solve this clue.
