How many words fit this fixed-letter pattern?

There are 77 matches, and the fixed positions narrow the search: F must lead and G must sit fourth. A word with those letters in other positions does not qualify. FINGERS and FORGIVE are easy examples to scan for; FRAGILE and FORGING also fit.

The ending is less predictable than the first four letters. S closes 22 words, while D closes 11 and R closes 10. Examples ending in S include FINGERS, FLIGHTS, FORGETS and FORGERS; the full group also ends in G, Y, E, N or T.

Dictionary coverage differs by game: 54 matches are in ENABLE, 75 in Collins and 56 in NWL2023. Those totals overlap, so they do not add up to 77. Only 8 entries are common by frequency, and game acceptance varies; check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar match.

7-letter words with F as the 1st letter and G as the 4th letter

• FIZGIGS is the top base-score option at 21 points, well ahead of the familiar examples.
• FLIGHTY and FOUGHTY each score 17; both beat FORGIVE, which scores 14.
• Compare tile values before chasing a long word: the high scorer here is not the most familiar choice.
• Treat those totals as letter scores before board premiums; a premium square can change the final play value.
