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

Which G-and-R words score the most?

GUZZLER scores 26 Scrabble points before board bonuses, far ahead of the more familiar GREATER and GRAMMAR. Its double Z is the reason it tops the scoring group; the pattern itself does not guarantee a high score.

GLAZIER, GRAZIER, and GAUZIER each score 17. The close tie makes them worth checking when you need a high-value play, but available board squares still decide the final total.

The neighboring G-S pattern has 497 matches, compared with 140 ending in R. That sharp difference shows how much the final letter narrows this particular set.

Dictionary coverage varies: Collins includes 136 matches, NWL2023 includes 116, and ENABLE includes 103. A word accepted in one set may not be playable in another, so check your game's word list before committing.

The 140-word total is the full tournament-dictionary set, while 106 entries have definitions. If a candidate feels unfamiliar, verify that exact spelling rather than assuming every G-starting word ending in R qualifies.
