This pattern fixes F at the start and G in the middle, so a word that merely contains both letters does not qualify. FREIGHT and FATIGUE are recognizable examples; the set also includes less familiar entries such as FIZZGIG. The dictionary totals differ: Collins has all 38, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include 29 and 30.

7-letter words with F as the 1st letter and G as the 5th letter

  • Collins lists all 38 matches; ENABLE lists 29, and NWL2023 lists 30.
  • Only 6 entries are classed as common; FREIGHT and FATIGUE are familiar examples in the set.
  • FIZZGIG tops the score list at 30 points, followed by FROUGHY at 17.
  • D is the most frequent final letter, appearing in 12 words; R and S each appear in 7.
  • Definitions are available for 31 of the 38 entries.

Which entries lead the score table?

FIZZGIG scores 30 points, well ahead of FROUGHY at 17 and FISHGIG at 15. Those unusual spellings lead the scoring list, while FREIGHT, FRAUGHT, and FLAUGHT each score 14.

Among the lower top scorers, FLAGGED, FLEDGED, FLOGGED, and FROGGED each earn 13 points. For a familiar play, FREIGHT is the standout in that group; for raw points, FIZZGIG is the clear pick. The -GGED forms alone supply four entries, from FLAGGED to FROGGED, so a double G is a fair bet.

Is this pattern common in everyday play?

No: only 6 of these 38 words are classed as common, so most of the set is less familiar. The ending counts give a quick way to sort candidates: 12 finish in D, while R and S each account for 7.

The key solving check is position, not letter presence: F must lead and G must occupy the fifth slot. The 7-letter words with F as the 1st letter and G as the 5th letter also vary by dictionary, so check your game's word list before committing to an obscure entry.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words start with F and have G fifth?
There are 38 words matching those fixed positions in Collins. The count is smaller in other tournament lists: ENABLE includes 29, and NWL2023 includes 30. FREIGHT, FATIGUE, and FLAGGED are examples from the set.
What letter do these words most often end with?
D is the most common final letter, with 12 words ending in D. R and S tie next at 7 each. That makes a known final letter a useful filter when you are narrowing a candidate, but it does not change the required F-first, G-fifth pattern.
Which word in this group scores the most?
FIZZGIG leads the scores at 30 points. FROUGHY scores 17, and FISHGIG scores 15. These are tile scores before any board-square multipliers, so a premium square can change the total in a real game.
