That fixed pattern leaves the first, second, fourth, and final letters open. Familiar matches include FIGURES, DEGREES, ENGINES, and LIGHTER, while the ending is especially revealing: S, D, and R account for most entries. The matches come from tournament dictionaries, but each game’s accepted vocabulary differs.

The pattern at a glance

257 tournament-dictionary words have G third and E sixth.
Collins contains 252 matches; NWL2023 contains 206.
ENABLE contains 185 matches, so its list is narrower.
Only 19 matches rank among the most common English words.
ZYGOTES scores 20 points, the highest score.

Which endings dominate this pattern?

S is the leading final letter, appearing in 100 matches. D follows with 70, then R with 63; together, those endings cover 233 of the 257 words. Check the last square early when you have a choice.

The smaller ending groups are much thinner: N closes 14 words, E closes 5, and T closes 3. L and Y appear once each. A candidate ending in E or T is possible, but far less common than S, D, or R.

R leads the opening-letter count with 26 matches, followed by B with 23 and L with 19. P starts 16; A and D each start 14. FIGURES, DEGREES, and LIGHTER show how different the open positions can be.

How to use the G third, E sixth pattern in play

Start by testing the final letter against the strong S, D, and R groups. Then use your known letters in positions one, two, and four to narrow candidates such as ENGINES, TIGHTEN, or GOGGLES.

For a high-scoring play, ZYGOTES, BEGAZED, and UPGAZED each score 20 points. Their unusual letters can outscore everyday choices, but a strong rack score does not guarantee a safe play on every board.

The 257 total counts words present in at least one tournament dictionary, not words shared by every game. Collins has 252 matches while NWL2023 has 206, so check your game’s word list before relying on a less familiar entry.
