7-letter words with G as the 3rd letter and N as the 6th letter

The pattern is _ _ G _ _ N _, so both fixed letters sit inside the word. Familiar matches include regions, signing, ongoing, and migrant; others, such as hygiene and pigment, show how varied the surrounding letters can be. Just 22 matches rank among the most common English words, so the full set also includes plenty of specialist or less familiar entries.

• The complete set contains 157 seven-letter matches, including regions, segment, and pageant.
• Only 22 matches are common English words, so many entries are less familiar than signing or ongoing.
• Ending G is most frequent, followed by S; examples include digging and pigeons.
• ZAGGING and ZIGGING lead the listed Scrabble scores at 19 points before board bonuses.

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

There are 157 matches. The pattern includes several recognizable word families: signing and arguing end in ING, while digging, begging, and logging repeat G near the end. Regions and legions have a different feel, but still fit the same fixed positions.

The dictionary totals are not interchangeable: Collins includes 154 matches, NWL2023 includes 115, and ENABLE includes 104. A word accepted in one list might not appear in another, so check the word list used by your game when a disputed entry matters.

Which matches are worth checking first?

Start with everyday candidates such as regions, segment, signing, and ongoing when solving a clue. Then test endings: G appears at the end of 80 matches, while S closes 45. That strong split makes the final tile a productive place to focus when the other positions remain uncertain.

For a score-first play, ZAGGING and ZIGGING each score 19 points on standard Scrabble tile values; JOGGING scores 17. Those totals are for the word alone, before premium squares, and a high score does not make an entry common. This pattern has 157 dictionary matches but only 22 common ones.
