7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and G as the 6th letter

The pattern fixes M at the opening and G in position six, leaving the second through fifth letters and final letter to vary. It yields 36 tournament-dictionary entries, but just four rank among the commonest English words. MESSAGE, MASSAGE, MILEAGE, and MONTAGE make the pattern easier to scan than its rarer entries.

At a glance: the M-and-G pattern

• 36 entries fit the pattern M _ _ _ _ G _ across tournament word lists.
• Only 4 count as common; MESSAGE, MASSAGE, MILEAGE, and MONTAGE are recognizable examples.
• 15 end in S and 13 in E, together making up 28 of the 36 words.
• MYOLOGY and MOCKAGE lead the scoring table at 16 points apiece.

Which endings dominate among 7-letter words with M first and G sixth?

S leads with 15 words, followed by E with 13. A, O, H, and Y finish the remaining eight: three each for A and O, and one apiece for H and Y. If your rack suggests a suffix, test S and E first instead of treating every final letter as equally likely.

That split offers a quick cross-check: MESSAGE, MASSAGE, and MILEAGE close with E, while MUSINGS and MAKINGS close with S. The ending does not reliably signal meaning; these forms range from familiar words to specialist vocabulary. For comparison, the same M-first, G-sixth pattern with S first has 88 matches, over twice this set.
