The fixed pattern is M _ _ _ _ _ G: the first and seventh letters are settled, leaving five middle tiles to solve. Familiar anchors include MORNING, MEETING, MISSING, and MEANING, but only 19 of the 117 matches count as common. The rest range from everyday inflections to specialist vocabulary, so a complete game list is broader than ordinary conversation.

7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and G as the 7th letter
The middle letters create several recognizable -ING endings: MEETING, MISSING, MARKING, MAPPING, and MELTING all fit. MORNING and MEANING are familiar too, though this pattern is about letter placement, not a single word ending.
The final G is a relatively narrow filter for M words. There are 117 M-starting words that end in G, compared with 681 that end in S. If the last tile is still uncertain, checking the G pattern sharply narrows the search.
Which M…G words score highest?
MUZZING is the standout scorer at 28 points, well ahead of MAHJONG at 20. MOCKING, MUCKING, MUFFING, and MIFFING each score 16, while familiar MARKING and MAPPING are worth 14 apiece.
The biggest score is not the easiest word to recognize: MUZZING is far less familiar than MORNING or MEETING. For 7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and G as the 7th letter, check both the spelling and your game's dictionary before banking on a high-value play. Collins has 115 entries, while NWL2023 has 80, so acceptance differs by game.
