The fixed pattern leaves only 15 tournament-dictionary entries, and most share a visible ending: 11 finish in E. DOGLIKE, PIGLIKE, and BAGLIKE show the dominant shape; the remaining endings are three S words and one A word. None ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so familiar spelling is not a reliable guide to acceptance.

How many 7-letter words have G third and K sixth?

  • The pattern returns 15 tournament-dictionary words, all seven letters long.
  • Eleven end in E, three in S, and one in A.
  • Collins lists all 15; NWL2023 has 11, while ENABLE has 9.
  • ZIGANKA scores 21 points, followed by JIGLIKE at 19.

Which endings fit this letter pattern?

Eleven entries belong to the familiar -like family: BAGLIKE, DOGLIKE, HAGLIKE, HOGLIKE, JIGLIKE, LEGLIKE, PEGLIKE, PIGLIKE, RUGLIKE, TAGLIKE, and WIGLIKE. Each keeps G in position three and K in position six, with E as the final letter. If the clue leaves the last tile open, E is the strongest starting assumption in this set, not a guarantee.

The four exceptions sharpen the pattern: BEGUNKS, BOGOAKS, and TUGRIKS end in S, while ZIGANKA ends in A. The initial letters are less concentrated: B starts three entries, while H, P, and T start two each. Try the common -like frame first, then test those four alternatives rather than cycling through endings at random.

For a rack or crossword pattern, write _ _ G _ _ K _ before testing candidates. Then try E in the final square; switch to S or A only when the crossings demand it. That order follows the actual ending split rather than a generic vowel-first habit.

How do the scores and dictionary coverage compare?

Scrabble scoring favors the less familiar shapes. ZIGANKA leads at 21, JIGLIKE follows at 19, and HAGLIKE, HOGLIKE, and WIGLIKE each score 15. The average score is 14.4, so this pattern is not just a search for the odd high-value tile; many matches carry a solid score.

These 7-letter words with G third and K sixth have a clear limitation: none is common by the top-25,000-word frequency measure, even though 13 have definitions. Tournament coverage also varies: Collins includes all 15, compared with 11 in NWL2023 and 9 in ENABLE. Check the word list used in your game before committing a rare entry.

Questions people ask

Which word scores highest among these pattern matches?
ZIGANKA is the top scorer at 21 Scrabble points. JIGLIKE follows at 19, while HAGLIKE, HOGLIKE, and WIGLIKE each score 15; the top score comes from the unusual ZIGANKA, not the larger -like group.
What letters do these seven-letter words end with?
E is the most common final letter, appearing on 11 of the 15 matches. Three end in S, and ZIGANKA is the sole A-ending word. Testing E first is a strong pattern-based shortcut, but the S and A endings still matter when crossing letters rule it out.
Are all 15 words accepted in every word game?
No. Collins includes all 15 matches, but NWL2023 includes 11 and ENABLE includes 9. Since those lists differ, a word accepted under one may not be accepted under another; check the list your game uses before playing a rare entry.
