7-letter words with T as the 1st letter and G as the 7th letter
How do these words behave as a clue? The fixed T and G narrow the search, while familiar -ING forms offer a quick first pass: TALKING, TELLING, TURNING, TESTING, TOURING, and TASTING all fit.
If those miss, try TRACING, TICKING, or TOOLING. The 133 matches include many forms, but only 21 are common, so an everyday verb is a starting point, not a sure answer.
The final letter makes this a tighter clue among T-starting words: 665 seven-letter words beginning with T end in S, compared with 133 ending in G. For the same G ending, S leads as an opening letter with 252 matches. T is far from the most common starting letter for this pattern.
Which matches score most in Scrabble?
For 7-letter words with T as the 1st letter and G as the 7th letter, TOWZING leads the Scrabble scores at 20 points, ahead of TAXYING at 18. TEAZING, TOAZING, and TOUZING each score 17; familiar TEXTING and TAXIING score 15. These are tile values before board-square bonuses.
The scoring surprise is that familiar words are not the strongest raw scorers. Keep TALKING or TICKING in mind for a straightforward play, but check your game's dictionary before trying TOWZING. Collins has 133 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 contain 92 and 95, respectively.
