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

The fixed pattern is T _ _ _ _ G _, which leaves five open letters to work with. The group ranges from familiar words such as THROUGH and TEENAGE to less common entries such as TOHUNGA and TALWEGS. Only 3 matches count as common by frequency, so a valid pattern match may still be unfamiliar or absent from your everyday vocabulary.

The pattern at a glance

• 45 tournament-dictionary entries start with T and place G in the sixth slot.
• 26 end in S and 12 end in E; those two endings account for most matches.
• TAXINGS tops the score list at 15 points; THROUGH and THEURGY each score 14.
• 38 entries have a definition, while the average score across the group is 9.9.

Which words fit T _ _ _ _ G _?

The pattern fixes the first and sixth letters, not the ending. THROUGH, TEENAGE, TRILOGY, TONNAGE, and TILLAGE show how much the middle can vary while G stays in place. For a clue with a known final letter, start by checking the S and E endings, the two largest groups.

A few options are less familiar: TIKANGA, TOHUNGA, and TALWEGS also fit. That contrast matters in word games: the most recognizable answer is not always the only valid match. Keep the fixed G in slot six, then use your known letters to rule out candidates rather than guessing from the opening T alone.

How do scores and word lists change the choices?

For 7-letter words with T as the 1st letter and G as the 6th letter, TAXINGS is the scoring standout at 15 points. THROUGH and THEURGY follow at 14, with TYPINGS at 13. If points matter, compare those candidates first; the score leader is not necessarily the most familiar word.

The list contains 43 Collins entries, 27 NWL2023 entries, and 22 ENABLE entries, with overlap between dictionaries. Some matches therefore do not appear in every game's word list. Check your game's dictionary before relying on an unfamiliar candidate.
