7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and G as the 3rd letter

Every entry has E in position two and G in position three, leaving four letters open. REGULAR, DEGREES, REGIONS, and SEGMENT show how varied the starts and endings can be. The pool draws from three tournament lexicons, but only 19 entries meet our common-word cutoff.

At a glance

• 185 entries match the fixed E-G pair inside a seven-letter word.
• R leads as the first letter, with 53 matches; L follows with 33.
• 77 entries end in S, compared with 23 that end in E.
• BEGAZED tops the tile-score ranking at 20 points.
• Collins includes 179 matches, compared with 149 in NWL2023 and 137 in ENABLE.

Which starting and ending letters appear most?

R leads by a clear margin: 53 words begin with R, versus 33 beginning with L and 27 with B. REGULAR, REGIONS, REGARDS, and REGRETS are useful anchors when the first letter is unknown but the middle pair is fixed. M, D, and N contribute 14, 13, and 12 entries respectively, so the pool narrows quickly beyond the top three initials.

The final letter is even more lopsided, with seventy-seven entries ending in S and 23 in E; N and D follow at 16 and 13. DEGREES, REGIONS, and LEGENDS illustrate the S ending. For a clue or rack, check the last position before cycling through less common initials: S is the largest ending group.

7-letter words with E as 2nd and G as 3rd letter

REGULAR and SEGMENT are familiar entries, but the broader pool is not everyday vocabulary: just 19 of 185 qualify as common under the frequency cutoff. Dictionary coverage also differs: Collins has 179, NWL2023 149, and ENABLE 137. Those totals overlap, so don't add them to estimate unique words; check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

Score chasing changes the shortlist. BEGAZED scores 20, BEGAZES 19, and DEGLAZE 18; each outranks familiar REGULAR despite being less ordinary. On a seven-tile rack, keep the E-G pattern in mind, then inspect the remaining letters for a premium scoring combination instead of assuming the most recognizable word scores highest.
