Every match ends in G, while the letter before it is fixed as K. Ten words start with S; OKAYING is the lone O-starter. Only one entry ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so the set pairs recognizable forms such as SKATING with less familiar choices like SKYFING and SKYTING. The dictionary counts also differ across tournament lists.

The pattern at a glance

  • All 11 matches end in G, as the fixed seventh position requires.
  • Ten begin with S; OKAYING is the only word beginning with O.
  • SKYFING leads the scoring list at 18 points.
  • Collins accepts 10 matches; NWL2023 accepts 8.
  • Just one entry ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Which words fit K second and G last?

Ten of the 11 words begin with S; OKAYING is the sole exception. That S cluster makes the first letter a strong clue, even though it is not fixed by the pattern. SKATING, SKEWING, and SKIVING are useful candidates when your other letters match.

The full set is SKATING, SKEWING, SKIVING, OKAYING, SKEEING, SKITING, SKOLING, SKRYING, SKYFING, SKYRING, and SKYTING. Treat the less familiar forms as candidates to check, not automatic plays: tournament dictionaries do not accept identical sets.

For example, Collins includes 10 matches, compared with 8 in NWL2023 and 6 in ENABLE. Those totals overlap, so they should not be added together as separate words. Check the word list used by your game before committing an unfamiliar entry.

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

This is a narrow letter-position pattern: the matching set has 11 words, while the same ending with I in the second position has 293. Changing one fixed letter opens many more possibilities, so keep K firmly in slot two when testing a rack.

SKYFING scores 18 points, ahead of SKEWING, SKIVING, and OKAYING at 15 each. SKATING scores 12. The unusual expert wrinkle is that the top scorer is not the most common option: only one match meets the frequency cutoff for common words, and scoring rank does not tell you which forms your opponent or game dictionary will recognize.
