7-letter words with H as the 2nd letter and G as the 6th letter

Lock H into position two and G into position six, and the options thin out fast. The set includes familiar THROUGH beside less everyday forms such as PHOTOGS and WHEENGE. Only one entry falls among the most common English words, so expect a pattern-solving list rather than a run of everyday vocabulary.

At a glance: the H–G pattern

• Exactly 13 tournament-dictionary words match the seven-letter pattern.
• Only one match ranks among the most common English words.
• PHIZOGS tops the score list at 22 points.
• Six matches begin with T; three begin with C.
• Five matches end in S, while four end in E.

How many 7-letter words have H second and G sixth?

There are 13 matches. Their first letters are T, C, P, S, and W, with T accounting for six words. That concentration gives you a practical first check: if your known pattern starts with T, test THROUGH, THRONGS, and THRANGS before trying the smaller groups.

The endings cluster too: five words finish in S and four in E. The remaining four end in I, H, or Y. Pair those final-letter clues with the fixed H and G, rather than guessing from a broad seven-letter rack.

7-letter words with H second and G sixth: scores and limits

PHIZOGS is the standout scorer at 22 points; THROUGH, THEURGY, and WHEENGE each score 14. The high value belongs to an unusual word, not the familiar-looking THROUGH, so don’t assume recognition predicts rack value. PHOTOGS, CHAUNGE, CHORAGI, and CHOREGI each score 13.

This exact pattern is far narrower than its nearby alternatives: H in position two with E in position six has 495 matches, compared with 13 when G occupies that slot. Dictionary coverage also differs among Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form. For a broader search, loosen one fixed letter at a time.
