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

The fixed pattern is _L___G_, so the clue rules out words with L or G in any other position. The results range from familiar ALLERGY and PLUMAGE to less everyday entries such as FLOWAGE and FLOTAGE. Only one match meets Word Puzzle Answers’s frequency cutoff for common words, making this a narrow pattern with a distinctly specialist edge.

At a glance: the L-and-G pattern

• Fourteen tournament-dictionary words put L second and G sixth.
• Collins includes all 14 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 include seven apiece.
• Seven words finish with E, while five finish with S.
• FLOWAGE and FLYINGS tie for the top Scrabble tile score at 14.
• Only one match falls within Word Puzzle Answers’s common-word frequency cutoff.

Which words fit the pattern?

ALLERGY and PLUMAGE are the clearest everyday anchors. Both lock L into the second slot and G into the sixth, but their endings differ: ALLERGY finishes with Y, while PLUMAGE finishes with E. Those familiar words can help confirm the pattern before you test less common candidates.

The ending counts narrow the choices further: E appears seven times and S appears five times. That puts 12 of the 14 matches in just two ending groups. FLOWAGE and FLOTAGE are E-ending options; FLYINGS and BLUINGS are S-ending options.

How to use 7-letter words with L second and G sixth

For a letter-grid clue, write the pattern as _L___G_ before testing the remaining tiles. Check the final slot early: E and S together cover 12 matches, while O and Y each account for one. This quick split keeps the search focused without treating every possible ending as equally likely.

For Scrabble, FLOWAGE and FLYINGS are the scoring standouts at 14 points before board bonuses; PLUMAGE follows at 12. The limitation is real: a strong score does not make an obscure word safe in every game. Collins lists all 14 matches, but ENABLE and NWL2023 list seven each, so check your game’s dictionary before playing a doubtful entry.
