Which words fit the C-and-G pattern?

SCORING, SCALING, SCARING, and SCOPING share the familiar -ING finish. Each puts C second and G seventh, so they are strong first checks when your clue suggests a common verb form.

The less predictable endings widen the options: ICEBERG ends in -BERG, while SCUMBAG ends in -BAG. ECHOING and OCHRING start with different letters from the S-heavy group, and SCRYPT? No: use the actual pattern matches such as SCRYING or SCOWING instead.

How should you use 7-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and G as the 7th letter?

SCUMBAG leads the Scrabble scores at 14 points; ECHOING, SCRYING, OCHRING, and SCOWING each score 13. If your rack supports them, compare those choices before settling for SCORING or SCALING, which score 10 apiece.

The pattern is exceptionally narrow beside its neighboring vowel pattern: 462 seven-letter words have A second and G seventh, against 14 here. Six matches are common, so several remaining choices are less familiar; dictionary coverage also differs, so check your game's word list before relying on a word.
