7-letter words with G as the 3rd letter and R as the 5th letter

FIGURES, FIGURED, and REGARDS show the familiar side of the pattern; EAGERLY and ANGERED add recognizable alternatives. Just five matches rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words, so other entries include specialized vocabulary such as TUGHRIK and MEGARON.

How many 7-letter words have G third and R fifth?

• Exactly 61 tournament-dictionary words fit, including FIGURES, FIGURED, REGARDS, and EAGERLY.
• Collins lists 59 matches, NWL2023 lists 45, and ENABLE lists 38; dictionary coverage overlaps.
• Only five entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency; 49 have definitions.
• S is the most common final letter with 19 matches, followed by D with 12.

Which words are easiest to recognize?

Several familiar matches belong to one word family: FIGURES, FIGURED, FIGURAL, and FIGURER share their first five letters. WAGERED and SUGARED offer other recognizable routes through the pattern, while REGARDS and YOGURTS are easy to scan for.

Endings narrow the search quickly. Nineteen matches finish in S, twelve in D, and nine in E. If you know the final tile, checking those endings first is faster than scanning all 61 words alphabetically.

Which matches score well, and what nearby patterns differ?

TUGHRIK and JOGTROT score 15 points each; PYGARGS follows at 14. FIGURED and WAGERED each score 12, while FIGURES scores 11. Check the high-value options when your rack includes a J or an awkward consonant cluster.

Nearby patterns have much larger pools: putting T instead of G in third position gives 150 matches, and S gives 122. Keeping G but switching R to I in fifth position yields 242. This is a tight pattern, not a broad word-finding net.

No match ranks among the five common entries, and 49 have definitions. Collins includes 59 words, compared with 45 in NWL2023 and 38 in ENABLE, so check your game's dictionary when a less familiar word decides a play.
