This is a tight pattern: the 12 matches include familiar forms such as AGeless and UGliest alongside less everyday entries like AGAPEIC and EGGLERS. None meet the common-word cutoff. Collins includes all 12, while NWL2023 lists 10 and ENABLE lists 9, so the exact game dictionary matters.

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

  • There are 12 tournament-dictionary words with G second and E fifth.
  • EGGHEAD tops the scoring list at 13 points; AGAPEIC follows at 12.
  • AGILELY scores 11, while AGAMETE scores 10.
  • Six words start with A, five start with E, and one starts with U.
  • Five end in S; T is the next most common ending, with three words.

Which endings stand out?

S is the leading final letter, appearing in AGGRESS, AGELESS, EGGLESS, and other matches for a total of five words. T appears three times, including in UGLIEST and EGGIEST. The remaining four endings are C, D, E, and Y, with one word for each.

The opening letters make another useful filter: six matches begin with A, five with E, and just one with U. AGAPEIC and AGAMETE show the A group; AGELESS and EGOLess illustrate the E group. If your known letters rule out A and E at the start, UGLIEST is the sole U opener.

Scoring and dictionary limits

EGGHEAD is the strongest scorer at 13 points, ahead of AGAPEIC at 12 and AGILELY at 11. AGAMETE scores 10; AGGRESS, EGGLESS, EGGIEST, and EGGLERS each score 9. For a score-focused play, compare the word itself with the board before choosing a placement.

Dictionary coverage is not uniform: Collins has all 12 matches, but NWL2023 has 10 and ENABLE has 9. That makes the short list less dependable across game versions than its pattern suggests. Check your game's word list before playing a less familiar entry such as AGAPEIC or AGAMETE.
