Only 11 matches fit this frame, all with G in the last slot. FLYING and PLYING share the -LYING sequence, while GLUING, BLUING, and CLUING form another recognizable cluster. Just one entry ranks among common English words, so familiarity is a poor test of whether a candidate belongs.

A short list ending in G

  • 11 words fit the fixed second and final positions.
  • FLYING and PLYING share the same last four letters.
  • GLUING, BLUING and CLUING form another clear cluster.
  • FLYING scores 13 points, the top score ranking.

Which candidates score best?

FLYING and PLYING share the letters after their first tile, making them easy to compare when crossings settle the opening. GLUING, BLUING, and CLUING offer a different middle.

ELDING also fits, while SLARIG sits at the obscure edge of this small set. Their shared final G makes the other known squares decisive.

FLYING leads at 13 points; PLYING and CLYING each score 12. The one-point gap can disappear when premiums enter the play, so check placement as well as base values. The other entries each appear only once by first letter.

These scores come from matching entries, not a promise about a board result. FLYING is both the top scorer and the most recognizable option.

The first-letter counts remain sparse: C, E, and S each begin two matches, and every other opening occurs once. After confirming the final G, use the known first square to prune the options; the shared ending alone cannot distinguish all 11. If neither an opening nor a middle letter is known, GLUING offers one clearly recognizable shape to test against crossings.

How the fixed G narrows the choices

Tip

Keep the final G fixed and compare the middle sequence: -LYING identifies FLYING or PLYING, while -LUING points to GLUING, BLUING, or CLUING. The other six entries need separate crossing clues.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have L second and G last?
Eleven matches have L in position two and G in position six. FLYING, PLYING, GLUING, BLUING, and CLUING are among them. The first two share the -LYING sequence, while the three -LUING forms differ at the opening.
Which matching word has the highest base score?
FLYING leads at 13 points before board premiums. PLYING and CLYING each score 12, one point behind. Premium squares can change a play final total, so use these figures to compare tile values rather than predict a board score.
How many of these matches are common English words?
One of the 11 matches falls within the common-word frequency group. FLYING and GLUING look familiar, but the frequency count is narrow, and several entries are obscure. A fixed letter pattern can produce valid dictionary forms that players rarely use in everyday writing.
