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.

Tip

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.

Questions people ask

How many matches end in S?
Twenty-seven of the 33 matches finish with S. The other six end in E, O, A or H, so UNDERGO and INDULGE are especially easy to spot as non-S examples.
Which words lead the score list?
BEDBUGS and MUDBUGS share the top score at 13 points. HIDALGO, HIDINGS and VIDUAGE follow at 12, giving the score leaders a mix of familiar and less familiar forms.
Is UNDERGO in this pattern?
Yes. UNDERGO has D in the third slot and G in the sixth, but its final letter is O. It is one of the less common non-S endings in a group dominated by words that finish with S.
