The pattern _M___G_ fixes two slots but leaves five open, and only 11 tournament-dictionary words fit. EMBARGO, UMBRAGE, and IMPINGE are the easiest to recognize; the rest include specialized forms such as SMARAGD and UMLUNGU. Just one match ranks among common English words, so treat this as a constraint-solving list rather than a bank of everyday vocabulary.

At a glance: the _M___G_ pattern

  • Exactly 11 tournament-dictionary matches fit the pattern _M___G_.
  • Collins includes 10 matches, compared with 8 in NWL2023 and 7 in ENABLE.
  • EMBARGO, UMBRAGE, IMPINGE, and IMMERGE each score 12 points.
  • Five matches end in E, more than any other final letter.
  • Only one match is among common English words.

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

The 11 matches include familiar words and less everyday entries. EMBARGO means a restriction or ban, UMBRAGE means offense, and IMPINGE means to have an effect or make contact. Those recognizable options are useful anchors when you scan the full set.

The first letter narrows the choices quickly: four words begin with I, while E, S, and U each begin two. A starts just one. Endings offer another check: five finish with E, two with S, and the remaining four end separately in D, N, O, or U.

Scores, dictionary differences, and a practical limit

For this pattern, the highest score is 12 points, shared by EMBARGO, UMBRAGE, and IMPINGE, among others. SMOODGE and SMARAGD score 11, while AMENAGE scores 10. The average score is 11.5, so the set is fairly even rather than dominated by one standout scorer.

The exact phrase “7-letter words with M as the 2nd letter and G as the 6th letter” describes a narrow puzzle filter, not a set of uniformly familiar plays: only one entry is common, and six have definitions. Dictionary coverage also differs, so check your game's word list before relying on an obscure match. A useful solving rule: lock the two known letters, then test the first and final positions rather than guessing the middle.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have M second and G sixth?
There are 11 tournament-dictionary matches for the pattern _M___G_. EMBARGO, UMBRAGE, and IMPINGE are among the recognizable options. The remaining entries include less familiar forms, so use any known first or last letter to narrow the possibilities.
Which word in this pattern scores the most?
EMBARGO, UMBRAGE, and IMPINGE each score 12 points, tying for the highest score. IMMERGE and several other matches also reach 12. Board premiums and game rules can change a play's total, so these are base word scores.
Do all dictionaries accept the same M-and-G words?
No. Collins includes 10 of the matches, NWL2023 includes 8, and ENABLE includes 7. The different totals mean an entry accepted in one word game may not work in another, particularly among the less familiar words.
