The fixed positions leave five open slots: A starts each word, and G sits in the sixth spot. The 47 matches include familiar choices such as AVERAGE, APOLOGY, ARRANGE, ANALOGY, and ALLERGY, alongside less familiar entries. Dictionary coverage differs, so a match in one word-game dictionary may not count in another.

At a glance: the A-and-G pattern

  • The pattern has 47 words listed in at least one tournament dictionary.
  • Collins includes 46 matches; NWL2023 includes 32, and ENABLE includes 29.
  • Five matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • AVERAGE, APOLOGY, ARRANGE, ANALOGY, and ALLERGY are recognizable examples.
  • E is the most common ending, with 22 words; S follows with 15.

Which endings appear most often?

E leads the endings with 22 words, while S closes 15. Y appears four times, and A appears three times; H, N, and O each appear once.

That distribution makes the last letter a useful second filter after the fixed A and G. If your clue ends in E, start with AVERAGE, ARRANGE, or ALLERGY; an S ending points toward AIRBAGS, AIRINGS, or ASKINGS. The examples keep the pattern visible while narrowing your search.

7-letter words with A first and G sixth: top scorers

ADJUDGE leads at 17 points, followed by AJUTAGE at 15. APOLOGY and ACHINGS each score 13, while ASKINGS, ANAGOGY, ACCINGE, and ARDRIGH score 12.

The standout score belongs to an unusual-looking word, not one of the familiar examples. AVERAGE and ANALOGY each score 11, close to the 10.1-point average for this group. The score list is therefore a better guide than familiarity when you are choosing a high-value play.

NWL2023 includes 32 of the 47 matches, fewer than Collins. Check your game's word list before relying on an entry accepted only by another dictionary.
