7-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and L as the 4th letter

The pattern is _G_L___: G must sit in position two, with L in position four. AGILITY is the familiar anchor, but the other matches include less common forms such as EGALITE and AGELAST. Collins includes all 11; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 7, so your game’s dictionary matters.

At a glance: G second, L fourth

• There are 11 tournament-dictionary matches for the seven-letter pattern _G_L___.
• AGILITY, EGALITY, and AGILELY each score 11 Scrabble points before board bonuses.
• AGILITY is the sole common entry among these matches.
• Six matches begin with A; the other five begin with E.
• Four words end in S, while three end in Y.

Which words fit the pattern?

Start with AGILITY if you want a recognizable word, then check AGILELY and AGILEST for the same AG-L opening. The E-starting group includes AGELESS, EGGLESS, and EGOLESS; those familiar-looking endings make a compact cluster within an otherwise unusual set.

The list is unusually small beside other second-letter choices with L fixed in position four: A has 428 matches and E has 331. G’s 11 entries make this clue far more restrictive, so verify both fixed positions before trying a candidate.

Playing 7-letter words with G second and L fourth

AGILITY, EGALITY, and AGILELY lead the score table at 11 points each. EGGLESS, AGELONG, and EGGLERS follow at 9; AGELESS, EGOLESS, EGALITE, and AGELAST score 8. Those are base Scrabble values, not promises of a premium-square total.

Dictionary coverage is the main limitation: Collins has 11 matches, compared with 7 in ENABLE and 7 in NWL2023. Don’t assume every Collins entry works in a North American game. Check the word list your game uses, especially for less familiar forms such as EGALITE and EGALITY.
