The fixed pattern is ___GL_, leaving the first three letters and final letter open. Endings are sharply concentrated: 52 finish in E and 24 in Y, while just one ends in I and one in O. Only 8 rank among the 25,000 most common English words, so the full tournament list reaches well beyond everyday vocabulary.
6-letter words with G as the 4th letter and L as the 5th
- 78 six-letter words have G in position four and L in position five.
- Collins accepts 76 matches, NWL2023 accepts 62, and ENABLE accepts 54.
- 52 words end in E, while 24 end in Y.
- Only one match ends in I, and one ends in O.
- JIGGLY leads the score list at 18 points.
How can you work through the fixed pattern?
Think of the pattern as three open starting slots followed by G-L and one closing slot. SINGLE, JUNGLE, and TANGLE show the common -GLE shape; SINGLY, WIGGLY, and SNUGLY shift the final letter to Y. E and Y account for 76 of the 78 matches, so test those before less likely endings.
Starting letters are less concentrated than endings. G begins 15 entries and J begins 11, but T follows with 8; examples include GIGGLE, JIGGLE, and TANGLE. For a grid clue, keep the known G-L pair fixed, then use the first three boxes to test the opening rather than changing the confirmed pair.
Preserve L in position five instead of treating the letters as a loose anagram: G in fourth and L in fifth are the defining constraint, not merely two letters to include.
Which of these six-letter words score most?
The dictionary totals overlap: 78 is the union, not the sum of the Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE counts. Only 8 entries rank among the most common English words, so an unfamiliar match is not automatically a typo; check your game's word list.
