This pattern leaves a short, specialized set: every entry has G in position two and S in position five. Agnosia, ageusia, and egoists are recognizable examples, but none ranks among the commonest English words. The opening and closing letters give you a quick way to narrow the choices before checking a game dictionary.

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

  • Exactly 15 tournament-dictionary entries fit the fixed G-second, S-fifth pattern.
  • Collins lists all 15; ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 6.
  • Twelve begin with A, while 2 begin with E and 1 begins with O.
  • Eight end in S; the remaining endings are D, A, C, and E.

Which first letters and endings dominate?

A dominates the first position: 12 words start with A, compared with 2 starting with E and just 1 with O. Agnosia, ageusia, and agnised show how varied the endings can be even within that largest group.

Eight entries finish with S. The other seven end in D (3 words), A (2), C (1), or E (1). This G-second set is unusually narrow beside the E-second, S-fifth group, which has 174 matches.

How should you use these pattern matches?

Start with the common initial letters when scanning: A first, then E, then O. For 7-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and S as the 5th letter, the ending can quickly confirm a candidate; egoists and agnises both finish in S, while agnised ends in D.

The highest listed listed scores are 10 points: ageisms, agnosic, egoisms, and ogrisms. None of these entries is common by our frequency measure, so treat the set as specialist vocabulary and check your game's word list; Collins has all 15, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each have 6. The comparable 6-letter pattern has 13 matches.
