Every match has the same tight frame: K sits in position three, and G closes the word. That leaves just 13 options, with no entries in our common-word group. The strongest plays are not everyday vocabulary, either: YAKKING, YUKKING, and YOKKING lead on score, while INKLING is the standout familiar-looking example.

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

  • The pattern has 13 dictionary-backed matches.
  • All 13 end in G; K is fixed in the third position.
  • YAKKING, YUKKING, and YOKKING each score 19 points.
  • Only 10 matches have a definition.

Which matches score highest?

YAKKING, YUKKING, and YOKKING share the top score at 19 points apiece. Their repeated high-value letters make these the scoring standouts, even though the fixed pattern offers few choices.

PAKFONG follows at 17 points, while LEKKING scores 16. INKLING, ANKLING, and OAKLING each score 12, so a familiar-looking word does not necessarily beat an unusual one on the rack.

Which letters start these words?

A and Y tie as the most frequent opening letters, with three matches each. The A group includes ANKLING and ANKLONG; Y contributes YAKKING, YUKKING, and YOKKING.

P appears twice, through PAKFONG and PAKTONG. D, I, L, O, and T each start one match. For a word puzzle, that spread makes the first letter a useful narrowing clue once K and the final G are confirmed.

Which word-game dictionaries include them?

All 13 matches are in Collins, compared with six in NWL2023 and four in ENABLE. Those source counts overlap: they do not divide the words into separate groups.

The neighboring pattern with K third and E last has 14 matches, just one more than this G-ending set. Check your game's word list before playing, since dictionary coverage differs.

Questions people ask

Are all 13 words accepted in NWL2023?
No, only six of the 13 matches are in NWL2023. Collins contains all 13, while ENABLE contains four. Since those dictionaries do not have identical coverage, confirm which one your game uses before you play a less familiar option such as PAKFONG or PAKTONG.
What are the highest-scoring words with K third and G last?
YAKKING, YUKKING, and YOKKING tie for the highest score at 19 points each. PAKFONG scores 17, and LEKKING scores 16. The top three share the same score, so board placement, rather than a ranking among them, decides which is the better move.
Which starting letters appear most often in this pattern?
A and Y are the most common starting letters, with three words apiece. ANKLING and ANKLONG show the A group; YAKKING, YUKKING, and YOKKING show the Y group. P starts two matches, and D, I, L, O, and T each start one.
