Fix A in the opening slot and G in the third, then test the other letters against your clue or rack. Arguing, algebra, and angular are recognizable options; angakok is far less familiar. Just 8 of the matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so many candidates will be unusual.

7-letter words with A as 1st and G as 3rd letter at a glance

  • The pattern produces 71 matches across the tournament dictionaries represented here.
  • Collins includes 70, NWL2023 has 50, and ENABLE has 46; these dictionary counts overlap.
  • Only 8 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • S closes 29 matches, making it the most frequent final letter.
  • Angakok and angekok each score 16 points, the top score among these words.

Which letters finish these A-and-G words?

S dominates the final position, appearing in 29 words. C comes next with 7, then E with 6. Anglers, angoras, and augusts illustrate the variety hiding behind that repeated S.

A closes 5 matches, while D finishes 4. G, R, and T each appear as the last letter in 3 words. If your clue supplies an ending, use it early: the gap between S and the next most common ending makes that clue especially narrowing.

Which matches score highest, and what should you watch for?

Angakok and angekok top the scoring group at 16 points. Afghans, afghani, and anglify each score 14. Those choices reward a strong rack, but an impressive total does not mean every game accepts the word.

For more familiar vocabulary, try arguing, algebra, angular, or anguish. Most of the 71 options are not common English words; only 8 rank among the top 25,000 by frequency. Dictionary coverage varies too: Collins has 70 matches, compared with 50 in NWL2023.
