6-letter words with G as the 4th letter and O as the 5th letter

This pattern fixes the middle as _ _ _ G O _, leaving three letters to make each word. The endings are strikingly uneven: S appears 29 times, while N comes next with 10. Only four matches rank among the most common English words, so familiar examples sit alongside specialist vocabulary, and dictionary coverage varies enough to matter when you play.

The G-O pattern at a glance

• The pattern has 56 tournament-dictionary matches.
• Collins includes 53 matches, compared with 44 in NWL2023 and 40 in ENABLE.
• S is the most frequent final letter, appearing on 29 words.
• AZYGOS leads the scoring list at 19 points.

What letters finish these six-letter words?

S endings dominate: 29 of the 56 matches finish with S. Examples include AMIGOS, BONGOS, CARGOS, and TANGOS. N is a distant second with 10, followed by T with six.

If your puzzle already fixes the final letter, start with S, then test N.

The opening letters are more varied. F leads with eight words, including FORGOT, while M and T each start six.

The neighboring pattern with E in the fifth position has 394 matches, making this O pattern a much narrower search. That sharp drop is a clue to keep the fixed O in place rather than broadening the pattern too early.

Only four words here fall within the common-word group. FORGOT is an everyday example; words such as TRIGON and TURGOR are less likely to come to mind during a quick solve. Treat an unfamiliar candidate as a dictionary check, not an automatic miss.

Which G-O words score highest?

AZYGOS scores 19 points and tops the scoring results. JARGON follows at 14, while CHIGOE and CHEGOE each score 12. For a high-value play, AZYGOS is the standout; for a more recognizable option, JARGON is easier to spot.

The counts differ by dictionary: Collins has 53 matches, NWL2023 has 44, and ENABLE has 40. The overall total includes a word if it appears in at least one of those tournament lists, not necessarily all three. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

For 6-letter words with G as the 4th letter and O as the 5th letter, the main limitation is familiarity: only four are classified as common. Keep the pattern for crossing letters, but expect several candidates to need verification.
