The pattern fixes G in the middle and H at the final position, leaving the other five letters open. ENGLISH and ANGUISH are recognizable matches, but only two of the 38 words rank among the most common English words. That makes this a narrow clue list, not a set of everyday guesses.
Seven-letter G-third, H-last words at a glance
- There are 38 tournament-dictionary matches with G third and H seventh.
- H is the most frequent first letter, starting 7 matches; B, D and P start 4 each.
- ENGLISH and ANGUISH are familiar examples, but just 2 matches are common.
- Collins includes 37 matches, NWL2023 includes 27, and ENABLE includes 23.
- JIGGISH tops the scoring examples at 19 points.
Which words stand out among the matches?
ENGLISH and ANGUISH are the easiest words to recognize, while HOGWASH, DOGFISH and ROGUISH offer other clear examples. The less familiar end includes DIGLYPH, AGGADAH and ENGULPH, so recognition alone will not cover the full set.
The matching G-third, S-last pattern has 426 words, far more than the 38 ending in H. That contrast makes the final letter a strong filter: when your clue confirms H at the end, discard tempting G-third words that finish with S. Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins has 37 matches, compared with 27 in NWL2023.
How do the strongest scores differ?
- JIGGISH scores 19, the highest value among the named scoring examples.
- HOGWASH, HAGFISH, HOGFISH, FOGYISH, DIGLYPH and HIGHISH each score 17.
- BAGWASH and PIGFISH score 16, making them strong alternatives to the top scorer.
- The group averages 14.4 points, so its scoring profile is stronger than its everyday vocabulary suggests.
A practical limit for this pattern
Collins lists 37 of the 38 matches, but ENABLE has only 23. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar one, because the tournament lists do not all include the same matches.
