The pattern fixes G in slot two and T in slot six, leaving four positions open. Only 12 tournament-dictionary words fit, and the examples range from familiar AGILITY and AGITATE to rarer entries such as AGOROTH; just one belongs to the common-word group. When crossed letters leave few options, anchor the second and sixth cells, then test the opening and ending.

The pattern at a glance

  • Exactly 12 tournament-dictionary entries have G second and T sixth.
  • Collins includes all 12; NWL2023 includes 9, while ENABLE includes 8.
  • AGILITY, EGALITY and AGOROTH lead the score list at 11 points each.
  • Nine entries start with A; the other three start with E.
  • Six entries end in E; S and Y each close two words.

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

AGILITY and AGITATE are the most immediately recognizable examples: both start AG and place T in the sixth slot. AGILITY ends in Y, while AGITATE ends in E, showing why the final letter is not fixed by this pattern. AGITATO shares the placement but ends in O.

Most of the set is not everyday vocabulary: only one entry falls in the common-word group, and eight of the 12 have a dictionary definition recorded. A familiar-looking form is not proof that every game's lexicon accepts it. Collins covers all 12, compared with 9 in NWL2023 and 8 in ENABLE, so check the specific list used at your table.

Which matching words score highest?

AGILITY, EGALITY and AGOROTH each score 11, the highest listed value for this pattern. AGAMETE and AGEMATE follow at 10, while AGGRATE scores 9. The average is 9.2, so these words are not automatically premium plays; a letter bonus square or a parallel play can matter more than the rack total.

The E-in-second-position sibling has 284 matches against 12 here, while the H version has 59. That sharp drop makes this a narrow pattern, not a productive template for opening a search. For 7-letter words with G as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter, start with AGILITY and AGITATE, then check less familiar forms against your game's word list.
