The fixed pattern is _G___S_: the second tile is G, and the sixth is S. The 22 matches range from AGAINST and UGLIEST to less familiar forms such as AGATISE and EGGMASS. Only one meets the common-word cutoff, so expect a mix of recognizable vocabulary and specialist entries.

7-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and S as the 6th letter

AGAINST is the clearest everyday anchor, while UGLIEST shows how a familiar base can take an unusual form. Other recognizable entries include AGONIST, AGELESS, and EGOTISM; AGAROSE and OGREISH are less likely to come to mind during a quick solve.

The less familiar end of the set includes AGATISE, AGENISE, and AGELAST. EGGLESS and EGGIEST repeat the opening letters, while EGGMASS and EGGWASH offer a different route to the same fixed pattern. Check spellings carefully: the required S is the sixth letter, not the final one.

How do the pattern and scores guide a play?

For a rack or board puzzle, lock G into slot two and S into slot six before testing the remaining letters. The ending distribution narrows the search: T is the most common finish, with E and S tied behind it. That makes the final tile a stronger filter than the first tile, where A and E dominate.

EGGWASH scores 15 points, ahead of OGREISH and EGGMASS at 11. EGGWASH is a striking score, but its unusual vocabulary makes it a risky choice unless your game accepts it. Only 15 matches appear in NWL2023, versus 21 in Collins, so confirm your game's dictionary when an unfamiliar word decides the play.
