Which G-and-P words are easiest to spot?

GRAPHIC and GOSPELS are among the more familiar choices, while GRAPPLE gives you a clear example of the fixed fourth-letter P. These words share the same opening and position constraint, but their endings take different shapes: GRAPHIC ends in C, GOSPELS in S, and GRAPPLE in E.

GRIPPED, GRIPING, and GASPING show how much the final four letters can change while G stays first and P stays fourth. The pattern also includes forms such as GULPING and GUPPIES. Only 4 of the 65 entries fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so many matches are less familiar.
