Highest-scoring words
The fixed pattern is _ _ _ I _ G: every match ends in G, while the first three letters remain open. Familiar examples include during, having, making, and coming. The set has 119 words in the common-frequency group, so it mixes recognizable everyday forms with entries you are less likely to reach for in ordinary play.
6-letter words with I as the 4th letter and G as the 6th letter
- All 533 matches put I in position four and G at the end.
- During, making, and coming are among the familiar examples.
- S and T tie as the most common first letters, with 37 matches each.
- 437 entries have definitions; 119 fall in the common-frequency group.
- The dictionary counts overlap: 518 appear in Collins, 409 in NWL2023, and 381 in ENABLE.
Which starting letters lead the pattern?
S and T lead with 37 matches apiece. H and L follow at 34 each, while C and R have 33 each; D and P each account for 32.
Use the first letter as a sorting clue, not a shortcut to a single answer. Familiar examples such as saying and spring start with S, while taking and trying start with T. Once those options are tested, the fixed I and final G narrow the remaining pattern.
How do the strongest scorers compare?
Hazing scores 19 points, the highest score among the examples; joking scores 18. The average score across the full set is 10.5, so those two stand well above the typical match.
The strongest scores often come from less familiar words, not the everyday choices. Only 119 of the 533 matches are in the common-frequency group, and the dictionary totals differ by game: Collins includes 518, compared with 409 in NWL2023. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
