That fixed pattern produces a mix of everyday verbs and specialist vocabulary. Writing, waiting, and driving are easy examples to spot, but only 33 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins includes nearly the whole set, while NWL2023 and ENABLE recognize fewer entries.

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

  • 175 tournament-dictionary words have I in position three and G in position seven.
  • Collins lists 172; NWL2023 lists 127 and ENABLE lists 122.
  • Writing, waiting, driving, and joining are familiar examples.
  • Only 33 entries fall within the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency.
  • The average Scrabble tile score is 11.2; frizing scores 20.

Which starting letters appear most often?

S leads by a clear margin: 38 words begin with that letter. W follows with 13, while C, G, and P each start 12. If you are solving from the first tile, test S before spending time on a rare opening letter.

Every match ends in G, so many familiar examples share the -ing finish: failing, sailing, smiling, and shining. That ending narrows the pattern, but it does not make every match a common word. The 33 frequent entries are a small slice of the 175-word total.

Can these words score well in Scrabble?

Yes. Frizing, avizing, and weizing each score 20 points before board bonuses, while prizing scores 19. Those high scorers are much less familiar than writing or raising, so do not mistake a strong tile total for an everyday word.

For 7-letter words with I as the 3rd letter and G as the 7th letter, dictionary choice matters: Collins has 172 entries, compared with 127 in NWL2023. The counts overlap rather than add up, and recognition in one word list does not guarantee acceptance in another. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have I third and G seventh?
There are 175 words matching those two letter positions. Writing, waiting, and driving are familiar examples, while the full set also contains less common tournament vocabulary. The count includes words listed in at least one of the covered tournament dictionaries.
Which starting letter is most common in this pattern?
S is the most common first letter, with 38 matches. W is next with 13, and C, G, and P each have 12. That makes S the strongest first-letter search when you know only the fixed I and G positions.
What is the highest Scrabble score among these words?
Frizing, avizing, and weizing each score 20 points before board bonuses. More familiar entries such as seizing and juicing score 17 points apiece. The top score comes from less familiar vocabulary, so confirm the word is accepted in your game.
