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.

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.
