7-letter words with B as the 1st letter and G as the 4th letter

The pattern fixes B in the first slot and G in the fourth, leaving five positions to narrow your search. Examples such as BARGAIN, BRIGADE and BLOGGER show how varied the results are. Only 15 entries are marked common, so the full set is much broader than everyday vocabulary. Use the examples to test a guess, then check your game’s accepted dictionary.

Among words ending in S, examples include BUDGETS, BURGERS and BANGLES. The next most frequent endings are R, D and G, with 17, 16 and 16 matches respectively. Check the last letter before scanning every possibility.

Which matches score well in Scrabble?

BANGKOK leads at 18 points, followed by BLIGHTY at 16. Several entries score 14, including BIGGISH, BEGGARY and BEDGOWN. These are base tile scores; a premium letter or word square changes the total, so the highest scorer is not automatically the best play.

The dictionary totals differ: Collins includes 139 matches, NWL2023 has 105, and ENABLE has 88. Their lists overlap, so those counts do not add up to the total. Many matches are uncommon, and dictionary coverage varies by game; check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
