6-letter words with O as the 1st letter and G as the 2nd letter

This fixed opening leaves little room for familiar vocabulary: all 11 matches are outside the top 25,000 common English words, and none is a routine everyday pick. OGLING is easiest to recognize; OGRESS and OGIVAL are less obvious. The dictionary split matters as much as the pattern, since Collins has two more matches than ENABLE or NWL2023.

The O-G pattern at a glance

• Eleven tournament-dictionary words fit the O-G opening; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include nine.
• Collins accepts all 11, making its list broader than either ENABLE or NWL2023.
• OGHAMS leads the score list at 12, followed by OGAMIC at 11.
• Five entries end in S; each of the other six final letters appears once.
• None of the 11 matches ranks among the top 25,000 common English words.

Which six-letter OG words score highest?

OGHAMS is the top scorer at 12 points, with OGAMIC next at 11. OGIVAL, OGRISH, and OGIVES each score 10, placing them in the next tier. The average score across all 11 entries is 9.2, so the leader is ahead of the pack without being the only strong scoring option.

OGHAMS’s edge shows up despite every candidate using six tiles: it leads OGAMIC by one point and OGIVAL by two. OGAMIC adds a different high-scoring letter, while OGIVAL and OGIVES tie at 10. Compare the actual board premiums before playing; the word’s score can change with its placement.

6-letter words with O as the 1st letter and G as the 2nd letter

The main catch is dictionary coverage: Collins includes 11 entries, but ENABLE and NWL2023 include nine each. Collins accepts two more words than either of those lists. Check the word list used by your game before building a play around a less familiar option such as OGHAMS or OGAMIC.

Five words finish in S: OGRESS, OGGINS, OGIVES, OGLERS, and OGHAMS. The remaining six split across C, D, G, H, L, and M, one per ending. That makes the S-ending group the place to start when a cross-check letter narrows your final square.
