That fixed pattern leaves 18 entries found in tournament dictionaries: M sits in position two, and every word ends in G. The opening letter is usually A or E, while five entries meet the common-word cutoff. Collins contains all 18 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each contain 10.

At a glance: the M-second, G-last pattern

  • Exactly 18 tournament-dictionary words fit, and every one has M second and G seventh.
  • Six begin with A, five with E, and four with S; the remaining three start with I or O.
  • Five entries meet the common-word cutoff; examples in the group include AMAZING, SMOKING, SMILING, IMAGING, and AMUSING.
  • AMAZING leads the score list at 19 Scrabble points, while SMOKING scores 14.
  • Collins lists all 18 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 list 10 each.

Which 7-letter words have M second and G last?

The recognizable choices make the pattern easier to scan: AMAZING, SMOKING, SMILING, IMAGING, and AMUSING all satisfy both fixed letters. The starting-letter counts narrow the search further: A leads with six words, followed by E with five and S with four. Only two begin with I, and one begins with O.

Several other matches are less familiar, including AMATING, EMULING, EMURING, OMENING, and SMORING. The full set has 16 entries with definitions, but a definition does not guarantee that a word appears in every game dictionary.

How can you narrow this letter pattern?

Start by testing the first letter against the distribution: A and E together account for 11 of the 18 matches. If neither fits your board, try S, then the smaller I and O groups. This is more efficient than cycling through every possible opening letter when the two fixed positions already leave a short list.

For a score-focused choice, AMAZING is the standout at 19 points, with SMOKING next at 14. A premium square can change those base scores. Only five matches are common words and some others are specialist vocabulary, so check your game's word list before playing an obscure option.
