The fixed pattern is _I___G_: I sits in position two, while G lands one letter before the end. Only 10 of the matches are common by our frequency measure, so familiar picks such as village and biology share space with specialist or inflected forms. The final letter is the quickest extra clue: S and E dominate.

Which letters and endings narrow the pattern?
S and E together account for 82 of the 94 words. That makes the final letter a strong filter: if your clue ends in S, try village, biology, filings, or vikings; for E, consider vintage, mileage, lineage, and signage.
The first letter spreads out more. P leads with 11 matches, while D, L, and M each start eight. Among the familiar examples, pillage starts with P, divulge with D, and mileage with M.
The second-position I pattern is far broader when G is not fixed at position six: 869 matches use E there instead. With G in that spot, the list is narrower than the A-second and O-second patterns, which have 136 and 125 matches.
How should you use the high scorers?
