6-letter words with T as the 1st letter and G as the 4th letter

With T fixed at the start and G in fourth place, the pattern is T__G__. The 55 matching six-letter words range from familiar choices such as TARGET, TAUGHT, and TONGUE to less everyday entries like TRAGUS and TEAGLE. Only 7 belong to the common-word group, so recognition is a starting point, not a completeness test.

• 55 entries meet the T__G__ pattern across tournament dictionaries.
• TARGET, TAUGHT, and TONGUE are recognizable matches.

Which six-letter words fit T__G__?

Six-letter words matching T__G__ include TARGET, TAUGHT, TONGUE, TRAGIC, TAGGED, and TANGLE. The fixed G narrows choices: 139 six-letter T words have I in fourth place, compared with 55 with G. Keep the other four letters open rather than assuming a familiar ending. The S-first version has 76 matches, more than this T-first set.

Check each candidate against its letter slots, not just its sound. TONGUE places G fourth, and TOGGLE has G in both third and fourth positions; repeated letters still fit. TINGLY and TINGED also match, while a word with G elsewhere does not. That position check quickly rules out tempting near-misses.

Scores and endings narrow the choices

TWIGGY scores 14 Scrabble points, the highest score among these matches; THIGHS, TOUGHY, and TWIGHT each score 13. Collins accepts 54 of the words, NWL2023 accepts 40, and ENABLE accepts 37. Those totals differ, so a candidate that works in one tournament list may not work in another.

For 6-letter words with T as the 1st letter and G as the 4th letter, final S, D, and E are the strongest first filters: their counts add to 34, about three-fifths of the set. The remaining 21 end in R, Y, N, T, or L. With 7 common entries, 48 fall outside that group; start with familiar choices, then check your game's word list before playing an obscure one.
