Using 7-letter words starting GI in a puzzle

The ending counts give you a practical search order: check S first, then G, D, R, and Y. The 58 S-ending choices include examples such as GIGGLES, GIBBONS, and GIRDERS. If crossings rule out S, the 13 G-ending words provide the next-largest group.

Only five entries are classified as common, although 95 have definitions. Expect many unfamiliar options among the remaining words, rather than a list made up entirely of everyday vocabulary. The 121-word total combines entries across tournament dictionaries, so check your game's word list before playing a less familiar form.
