Every match fixes E in position two and G at the end, leaving five letters open. Familiar choices include READING, FEELING, LEADING, and LEAVING, while 76 entries fall among the 25,000 most frequent English words. A word counts here if it appears in at least one tournament list, so dictionary totals overlap.

At a glance: familiar forms lead the pattern

  • GETTING, MEETING, READING, and FEELING are recognizable matches.
  • Every match ends in G, while its first six letters vary.
  • Our frequency measure marks 76 entries as common.
  • Collins has 368 matches; NWL2023 has 272 and ENABLE has 255.
  • Definitions are available for 307 entries.

Which starting letters appear most often?

P begins the most matches, with 33; R follows with 30. H and S tie at 28, and M has 26. Use the opening letter as a second filter, but keep E in slot two and G at the end.

Familiar examples include GETTING, READING, LEAVING, TELLING, and HELPING. Their shared -ING ending makes that a practical clue, but check each candidate's fixed letters instead of assuming every verb form fits.

With G still fixed at the end, the E pattern has fewer matches than A (462) or O (429) in position two, but more than I (293). Changing one slot can sharply alter the pool, so keep the known pattern intact.

7-letter words with E second and G last

The 374 matches are not accepted uniformly across game dictionaries: Collins has 368, compared with 272 in NWL2023 and 255 in ENABLE. Those counts overlap; do not add them together. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

These words average 11.5 points. That average gives a rough comparison, not a guarantee about a play: board placement and available letters still affect its value.

Definitions are available for 307 entries, while 76 meet our common-word cutoff. Start with GETTING or READING when solving from memory; less familiar matches may need a dictionary check.

Questions people ask

How many of these seven-letter words are common?
There are 76 common matches. Our cutoff counts words within the top 25,000 English words by frequency, out of 374 total matches. GETTING, MEETING, and READING are familiar examples that fit the E-second, G-last pattern.
Which first letter appears most in this pattern?
P is the most frequent starting letter, with 33 matches. R comes next with 30, while H and S each have 28. Keep the fixed E and final G in place as you test these openings.
Are all 374 words accepted in every word game?
No. The counts differ by dictionary: Collins includes 368 matches, NWL2023 has 272, and ENABLE has 255. The lists overlap, so those totals cannot be added to get a unique-word count. Check the word list used by your game.
