This fixed pattern leaves a compact set: just 24 tournament-dictionary entries, compared with 1,363 for A in the second slot and I in the fifth. AGILITY and AGONIST are familiar anchors, but only one entry counts as common by frequency. Expect more specialist vocabulary than everyday options. G occupies slot two and I stays at five, leaving four possible first letters and seven final letters.

The pattern at a glance

  • The pattern has 24 entries across ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023.
  • Collins includes 22 matches; NWL2023 has 18, while ENABLE has 14.
  • AGILITY is the sole common entry by our frequency measure.
  • Nine words end in E, while six finish in S.
  • AGONIZE, AGATIZE, AGENIZE, and EGOTIZE each score 17 in Scrabble.

Why does G produce only 24 matches?

Only 24 matches meet both fixed positions, a sharp drop beside other vowels in slot two: A has 1,363, E has 1,099, and O has 1,193 when I stays fifth. That contrast makes G the constraint, not I.

The starting letters are lopsided: 15 begin with A, six with E, two with O, and one with U. Endings cluster around E and S, then fall to three M endings, two T endings, two Y endings, and one each in G and H.

Compare other fifth-position letters while G remains second: S and T each produce 15 matches, A produces 14, and E produces 12. The I pattern has a slightly broader set than those neighboring constraints.

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

Several matches come in spelling pairs: AGONIZE and AGONISE, AGATIZE and AGATISE, plus EGOTIZE and EGOTISE. The Z spellings lead the scoring group at 17 points, alongside AGENIZE; EGOTIZE also reaches that mark.

UGLYING scores 12, while AGILITY and OGREISH score 11 each. The limitation is real: definitions are available for 18 of the 24 entries, and only AGILITY counts as common. Check your game's dictionary once; Collins includes 22 of these words, but ENABLE has 14.
