The pattern looks like _ _ G _ _ T _, so both fixed letters stay in place while the other five vary. DIGNITY, MAGNETS, and NUGGETS show how different the results can look. Six entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff, and most of the full set ends in S. Check the game dictionary before relying on a particular entry.

- 83 tournament-dictionary words have G third and T sixth.
- 55 end in S; 10 end in E and 8 end in A.

How does the G-third, T-sixth pattern narrow the field?
This pattern has 83 matches, compared with 216 words that put R third and T sixth. Keeping G in third place but moving the sixth letter to E yields 257 matches. That makes the G-and-T combination a much tighter filter than either nearby pattern.
The first letters are spread across the set, but R leads with 11 words. B, D, and M tie next, with 8 each. Once you have confirmed G and T, testing an R at the start is a sensible first check; it produces more matches than any other opening letter.
7-letter words with G as the 3rd letter and T as the 6th letter
JUGLETS is the highest-scoring example at 15 points; MAGGOTY and BIGGITY each score 14. More familiar entries include DIGNITY, REGRETS, and NUGGETS, but the strongest score is not necessarily the easiest word to recall during a game.
The 83 matches are counted across tournament dictionaries, not guaranteed in every one. Collins has 80, NWL2023 has 63, and ENABLE has 58, so a word accepted in one list may not work in another. Use the list for your game when checking a disputed play.
