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

The fixed letters narrow the search to 80 tournament-dictionary words, but the endings vary widely. GARBAGE, GRABBED, GAMBLER, and GAMBLED are recognizable examples; less familiar forms fill much of the rest. Only five matches rank among common English words, so treat this as a clue-solving list rather than a promise that every entry feels familiar.

• There are 80 seven-letter matches with G first and B fourth.
• Collins lists all 80; NWL2023 lists 67, and ENABLE lists 63.

• The same pattern with S first has 108 matches, more than the G-first set.

Which examples are easiest to recognize?

Start with GARBAGE, GRABBED, GAMBLER, and GAMBLED. These familiar words show that the fourth-letter B fits several word forms, not just one ending. For a clue with a known final letter, use the ending counts to narrow the search.

S leads the final-letter pattern with 31 matches; E follows with 11 and R with 10. Only six end in G. Check the last few tiles before settling on an “-ed” form: the S-ending group is much larger.

For a rack or a crossword-style clue, test familiar builds first: GARBAGE, GRABBED, GAMBLER, and GAMBLED. For a scoring option, GUBBAHS and GYMBALS each score 15, while GARBAGY scores 14. Those higher scorers are less everyday choices than the familiar examples.

This is a tournament-word resource, not a guarantee of everyday vocabulary: just five matches count as common English words. Dictionary coverage differs, too. Collins includes 80 matches, compared with 67 in NWL2023 and 63 in ENABLE; check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
