This pattern leaves just 25 tournament-dictionary words, and none falls among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The familiar-looking CHAGRIN shares the set with less everyday entries such as CHIGNON and SHOGUNS. Check the full spelling before playing: the required H and G positions make a narrow search, but the remaining letters still vary widely.

Which 7-letter words have H second and G fourth?

  • There are 25 words with H in position two and G in position four.
  • CHAGRIN is a recognizable example; SHEGETZ is the highest scorer at 20 points.
  • C begins 10 entries, S begins 7, and T begins 6.
  • S is the most common final letter, appearing on 8 words; D ends 5.
  • The set has 0 words in the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

What patterns stand out in these words?

The first letter is concentrated: C, S, and T account for 23 of the 25 matches. Start with CHAGRIN, CHUGGED, or CHIGNON if C fits your known tiles; SHAGGED and SHOGUNS cover S, while THIGHED starts with T.

Endings split three ways: eight words finish in S, including SHOGUNS and CHIGOES, and five finish in D, including SHAGGED and CHUGGED. Four end in R, with CHIGGER and CHUGGER among them, so the last letter is a useful filter once H and G are placed.

Which entries score highest, and what should you watch for?

SHEGETZ leads at 20 points, followed by WHIGGED at 16. CHUGGED, THIGHED, and SHOGGLY each score 15, while CHIGGER, CHUGGER, THEGNLY, and CHIGGAS each score 14. If a rack supports SHEGETZ, its less familiar spelling is worth checking before you commit.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins contains 24 matches, NWL2023 contains 15, and ENABLE contains 14. The 25-word total combines entries accepted by at least one of those lists, so a word present in one dictionary may not be playable in another. Check your game's word list, especially for uncommon forms such as SHEGETZ and THEGNLY.
