Only 28 tournament-dictionary words fit this six-letter pattern. Recognizable examples include TYPING, CYBORG, EYEING, DYEING, and HYPING, but most matches are less familiar. Collins recognizes all 28; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 15, so your game's lexicon changes which candidates survive.

6-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and G as the 6th letter

  • Exactly 28 tournament-dictionary entries match the two fixed letter positions.
  • Every match ends in G, so the final letter is already determined.
  • Collins includes all 28 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 15.
  • Only 3 matches fall within our common-word frequency cutoff.
  • The average tile score is 12.6 points, and the leading entry scores 19.

Where do the matching words begin?

P and T lead the opening-letter count, with 4 matches each. G and S follow with 3 apiece, while B, D, H, and L contribute 2 each. That spread gives you several ways to narrow a pattern once the first tile is known.

The familiar examples show why a fixed second letter can hide very different word shapes. TYPING, HYPING, and DYEING look like everyday verb forms; CYBORG is a recognizable noun. Each keeps Y in position two and G at the end.

By comparison, the same Y-second pattern with E at the end has 46 matches, rather than 28. The G ending is therefore the tighter constraint in this neighboring pattern comparison.

Does dictionary choice change the count?

Yes. Collins contains 28 matches, but ENABLE and NWL2023 each contain 15. A candidate that fits the letter pattern may still be absent from your game's accepted list, so check the relevant lexicon before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

The score leader reaches 19 points, while familiar CYBORG scores 14. That gap is a reminder that the highest raw tile value does not automatically make an entry easy to recognize or playable in every ruleset. TYPING and HYPING are more approachable examples, though their scores are lower.

For 6-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and G as the 6th letter, solve the fixed positions first, then test the remaining letters against your game's dictionary. The modest common-word count makes recognition a poor substitute for a word-list check.

Questions people ask

Is TYPING one of the six-letter words with Y second and G last?
Yes. TYPING fits the pattern: Y occupies the second position and G the sixth. It is one of the more recognizable matches, alongside CYBORG, EYEING, DYEING, and HYPING. The full set also contains less familiar entries, so a game's dictionary can matter.
Why do Collins and NWL2023 show different numbers of matches?
Collins contains all 28 matches, while NWL2023 contains 15. ENABLE also contains 15. These dictionaries do not accept identical word sets, so the pattern alone cannot guarantee that a particular game will allow every matching entry.
Which first letters are most common in this pattern?
P and T tie for the lead, with 4 matches beginning with each letter. G and S follow with 3 apiece. B, D, H, and L each contribute 2, so checking the first tile can quickly narrow a candidate group.
