7-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and A as the 5th letter

The fixed G and A narrow this seven-letter pattern to a small, decidedly uncommon group. AGITATE is the most familiar example; the list also contains entries such as AGITATO, EGGWASH, and OGDOADS. All 14 are in Collins, while five appear in NWL2023 and four in ENABLE.

The pattern at a glance

• There are 14 tournament-dictionary words with G second and A fifth.
• Nine begin with A; the remaining first letters are E, I, N, and O.
• Six end in E, making E the most frequent final letter.
• EGGWASH leads the Scrabble scores at 15 points.
• None falls within our common-word group, so expect unfamiliar entries.

Which starting and ending letters occur most?

A is the clear leader at the first position: nine of the 14 words start with that letter. AGITATE, AGEMATE, and AGGRADE show how often the pattern opens with “AG.” EGGWASH is a memorable exception, starting with E and carrying a double G.

The endings cluster too. Six words finish with E, while three finish with S and two with T. That makes AGITATE and AGEMATE useful examples when you know the final tile is E; EGGMASS fits an S ending.

The remaining endings, A, H, and O, occur once apiece.

7-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and A as the 5th letter

For a word-game rack, mark the known pattern as _ G _ _ A _ _. The open slots are first, third, fourth, sixth, and seventh; sorting candidates by their first or last letter quickly trims this short list. Don’t assume every candidate will work in your game: the dictionary counts differ, and only five entries are in NWL2023.

EGGWASH is the scoring standout at 15 Scrabble points, helped by its W and H. AGGRACE and EGGMASS score 11 each, while AGITATE scores 8. If you are choosing a play, weigh that face value against the board: a premium square can change the result, but the word still has to be accepted by your game’s lexicon.
