7-letter words with G as the 1st letter and P as the 6th letter

This fixed pattern keeps the search narrow: every candidate starts with G, places P in slot six, and leaves the other five slots open. Just two entries are classed as common, so grandpa and gossips are the easiest starting points. The rest range from familiar forms to specialist vocabulary, and the accepted set differs across Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE.

At a glance: the G-and-P pattern

• Exactly 13 words match the G _ _ _ _ P _ pattern.
• Seven finish in S, the most common final letter by a clear margin.
• Only grandpa and gossips count as common entries.
• Gazumps scores 21; galumph is next at 15.
• Collins accepts 12 matches, NWL2023 nine, and ENABLE seven.

7-letter words with G first and P sixth

The only common entries are grandpa and gossips, so start with those when the clue allows familiar vocabulary. Gossipy shares a visible stem with gossips, while gallops is another recognizable form. By contrast, garoupa, genappe, gilcups and guineps are less familiar choices; knowing the pattern does not make every answer equally easy to retrieve.

Coverage is uneven across tournament lists: Collins includes 12, NWL2023 nine, and ENABLE seven, with overlap between them rather than separate groups. Ten entries have recorded definitions, leaving three without one. Treat an unfamiliar match as a candidate, not an automatic play;.

Because P sits one space before the final letter, keep that sixth tile fixed while testing endings instead of moving P through the rack. The repeated S ending accounts for seven answers, but the single E, H, O and Y endings can separate otherwise plausible guesses.

Which word scores highest, and which endings appear?

Gazumps leads at 21 points, ahead of galumph at 15 and gossipy at 13. That ranking uses base tile values, so a premium square can change the result on the board. The Z makes gazumps stand out in the scoring order; the total, rather than word length alone, makes it worth spotting.

For 7-letter words with G first and P sixth, final letters offer a quick elimination clue: seven end in S, two in A, and E, H, O and Y appear once apiece. Don't assume S is required; six answers finish differently. If your rack supports a less familiar ending, verify the exact candidate against your game's dictionary before playing it.
