Slot six G produces a compact set of 33 words, and the ending is strikingly concentrated: 27 finish with S. UNDERGO and INDULGE give you familiar non-S shapes amid forms such as ENDINGS, TIDINGS and SIDINGS. Just three matches are common, so most options are specialist vocabulary or inflected forms.
What stands out in this pattern
- 33 entries fit D in slot three and G in slot six.
- Twenty-seven end in S; only six use another final letter.
- UNDERGO and INDULGE are recognizable exceptions to the S ending.
- BEDBUGS and MUDBUGS tie at 13 points; average score is 10.5.
Examples and dictionary coverage
B is the most frequent opening, with six matches; R appears four times and H three. The 30 defined entries and three common ones show why a solver should separate familiar words from tournament-only possibilities. The six non-S endings include E, O, A and H.
A strong ending count creates a practical shortcut: when the board already supplies a final S, test the 27-word majority first, then keep UNDERGO and INDULGE in reserve for singular plays. BEDBUGS and MUDBUGS also repeat the same visible final pattern while sharing the score lead.
Dictionary coverage varies across the group: all 33 are in Collins, compared with 18 in ENABLE and 20 in NWL2023. That spread matters most for unfamiliar forms such as VIDUAGE. The recognizable options are few, so confirm the game’s lexicon before committing to a rare entry.
The six non-S words matter when a board blocks a final S or your rack lacks one. H serves one ending, A one, and O two; the remaining two use E. That small alternative pool is worth memorizing because the dominant ending can otherwise distract from legal fits.
A practical clue for this letter frame
7-letter words with D as the 3rd and G as the 6th letters: Most matches end in S, but UNDERGO and INDULGE show that the final tile can vary.
