The fixed letters leave five open spots, but the matches have clear habits: 97 end in S, while L and M lead as starting letters with 28 and 27 words. Only 23 entries rank among the most common English words, so familiar examples such as LARGELY sit beside less everyday plays. The counts include words found in at least one tournament dictionary.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 254 matches for the seven-letter pattern _A_G___.
  • LARGEST and LARGELY are familiar examples in the group.
  • L is the most common first letter, appearing in 28 matches; M follows with 27.
  • S is the most common final letter, with 97 words ending that way.
  • Only 23 matches count as common by English word-frequency ranking.

Which words fit A in position 2 and G in position 4?

Start with the pattern _A_G___, then check every open tile against the clue. HANGING, RANGING and TANGLED show how the fixed G can fall into different word families; BARGAIN and DANGERS offer other recognizable routes through the same slots.

The starting letters spread across the list rather than clustering around one prefix. L contributes 28 words and M contributes 27, but G starts 24 and T starts 22. That makes the opening letter a useful filter, not a substitute for checking the fourth position.

7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and G as the 4th letter

Endings are less evenly distributed: 97 words finish with S, compared with 33 ending in G and 29 in D. When the last tile is known, test S first, then try G or D before working through the smaller groups.

For Scrabble scoring, JAGGERY and ZAGGING each score 19, while BANGKOK scores 18. These high values come from J or Z, so do not treat an ordinary-looking pattern as an ordinary score. The average score across the matches is 11.
