Which familiar words fit the pattern?

CHANGED, CHANGES, CHARGED, CHARGES, CHARGER, and CHANGER make the pattern easy to spot: A stays third and G fifth while the surrounding letters change. DRAGGED, FLAGGED, and SNAGGED show another productive shape, with D at the end and a doubled consonant.

The first-letter spread is lopsided. S begins 27 matches, more than twice C's 12, while F starts 9 and T starts 7. That makes an S-start a sensible first branch when your known letters are A third and G fifth; it is a search shortcut, not a guarantee.

For a board score, QUAIGHS is the standout at 20 points, followed by QUAGGAS at 18 and QUANGOS at 17. These are less familiar than CHANGED, so keep the high scorers in reserve for a game that accepts them. The average score across the pattern is 11.5.

Most matches end in D, R, or S: those endings account for 27, 22, and 17 words respectively. That concentration gives you a practical check when you have the final tile.The seven-letter frame fits crosswords and board games, where crossing letters narrow the candidates.
