The pattern fixes two positions: A opens each word, and G sits in the fifth slot, leaving three letters between them and two more to finish. Examples range from ALLEGED and ASSIGNS to less familiar entries such as AEROGEL and ARMIGER. Only six matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect a mix of everyday and specialist vocabulary.
The A-G pattern at a glance
- There are 48 seven-letter matches with A first and G fifth.
- Collins accepts 46 of the matches; ENABLE accepts 30.
- NWL2023 includes 33 words in this pattern.
- Six matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Which endings appear most often?
S is the leading final letter: 16 words end in S, including ALLEGES, ASSIGNS, AVENGES, and ASIAGOS. T follows with five; D, N, and R each finish four. If your clue includes a final S, that ending narrows the 48 candidates sharply.
The A-start, I-fifth pattern has 301 matches, compared with 48 for G in the fifth position. If you are unsure which fifth letter the clue fixes, checking I instead of G opens a much larger candidate set.
7-letter words with A as the 1st letter and G as the 5th letter
ADJIGOS is the top scorer at 16 points. AARRGHH, AHEIGHT, and AHUNGRY each score 14, while APHAGIA and ABOUGHT reach 13. A high tile score does not mean a word is familiar: just six matches are common by frequency, so unusual entries deserve a quick check before you play.
The dictionary totals overlap, so do not add Collins, ENABLE, and NWL2023 counts to estimate the number of distinct words. Their counts are 46, 30, and 33, while the combined pattern has 48. Check your game's word list when a move depends on an entry accepted by only some dictionaries.
