7-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and I as the 3rd letter

These seven-letter matches keep G in position two and I in position three, leaving four slots open. Only AGILITY counts as common English vocabulary among the 11 tournament-dictionary words. Their endings vary, with R the most frequent final letter. This is an unusually narrow clue, not a broad route to everyday words.

How many 7-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and I as the 3rd letter?

• Eleven tournament-dictionary entries fit the fixed _GI____ pattern.
• All 11 begin with A, from AGILITY to AGITPOP.
• AGITPOP leads the score list at 12 points; AGILITY and AGILELY score 11.
• Only AGILITY is counted as common vocabulary.

Why do these words cluster around A?

Every match starts with A, and the examples mostly build around the AGI opening: AGILITY, AGITATE, AGITATO, AGILELY, AGISTER, AGITANS, AGILEST, AGINNER, AGISTED, AGISTOR, and AGITPOP. The shared first three letters do most of the narrowing; the final four distinguish a familiar word such as AGILITY from less common entries like AGISTOR.

The endings make the small group easier to sort: three words finish in R, two in Y, and one each in D, E, O, P, S, and T. AGILITY and AGILELY are the Y endings, while AGISTOR ends in R. If you know the final letter, use it as a second filter instead of changing the opening.

Which matches score highest, and which dictionaries include them?

AGITPOP tops the score list at 12, with AGILITY and AGILELY tied at 11. AGISTED scores 9; AGITATE, AGITATO, AGISTER, AGITANS, AGINNER, and AGILEST each score 8. The average score is 9, putting AGITPOP three points above it. A high letter score does not guarantee the best board play: premium squares and a safe reply still matter.

Coverage varies by dictionary: Collins includes all 11 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include six each. Some entries therefore will not work in every game. Most are uncommon, so check your game's word list before playing.
