7-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and G as the 6th letter

The 38 matches split sharply by their last tile: 23 end in S, nine in E. COTTAGE, OUTRAGE, and LITURGY provide recognizable checks among the examples. No opening letter dominates: O leads with five words and K follows with four.

At a glance: T and G slots

• 38 candidates match the two fixed positions.
• COTTAGE, OUTRAGE, and LITURGY provide recognizable checks among the examples.
• No opening letter dominates: O leads with five words and K follows with four.
• The average tile score is 10; JETLAGS leads at 15.

How the T–G pattern narrows choices

JETLAGS is the top scorer at 15, followed by KITBAGS at 14. Those two S-ending entries illustrate why a familiar plural-looking finish can still carry useful tile value.

The mean score is 10, below both leaders. No opening letter dominates: O leads with five words and K follows with four.

The exact slots matter: each named example keeps the required letters in place, even when its ending or opening changes.

Only four entries count as common, despite familiar examples such as COTTAGE. Treat recognition as a clue, not proof that a candidate is accepted in your particular game.

When the last tile is S, prioritize the large S-ending group; it contains 23 of the 38 candidates. For an E ending, nine options remain, including COTTAGE and WATTAGE.

The pattern is most useful after you have one or two crossing letters; then its candidate count becomes a practical shortlist rather than a guessing prompt.
