6-letter words with R as the 3rd letter and G as the 4th letter

The fixed middle pair narrows the search quickly: every answer fits the pattern __RG__. Familiar picks such as FORGET and TARGET sit beside names and less common vocabulary, so the pattern is broader than a list of everyday words. Only 13 entries rank among common English words.

6-letter words with R 3rd and G 4th: key facts

• There are 95 entries matching the fixed pattern __RG__ across the tournament word lists.
• S is the leading final letter, appearing on 32 words; D is next with 13.
• FORGET, LARGER, TARGET, and FORGOT are recognizable examples in the group.

Which words fit the R-G pattern?

FORGET, LARGER, TARGET, and FORGOT show how the pattern can form familiar words with different endings. MORGAN, VIRGIN, and MARGIN add examples beginning with M or V, while BURGER and MERGER put a recognizable ending after the middle pair.

The opening letters are spread across the list rather than dominated by one start: G leads with 13 entries, followed by M and S with 11 each. B and P contribute 10 apiece. Check the fixed R and G positions first, then use the first or last letter to narrow your options.

How does this pattern compare with other lengths?

Keeping G in the fourth position but changing the third letter produces much larger groups: N has 223 matches and G has 170, compared with 95 for R. Keeping the R-G pair and changing the word length gives 42 five-letter words and 120 seven-letter words.

Only 13 of these entries are common words, so the pattern is a strong clue filter, not a promise that every match will feel familiar. For higher-scoring choices, JARGON and JIRGAS lead at 14 points; BURGHS, MARGAY, and MORGAY each score 12. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
