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

This pattern fixes two positions but leaves five letters open, and it produces a compact group of 13 words. SYRINGE and SYNERGY are familiar examples; ZYMURGY is the standout scorer. The list is much narrower than nearby patterns, so checking the fixed letters first can save time when you are searching a rack or solving a clue.

At a glance: the Y-second, G-sixth pattern

• There are 13 seven-letter matches in tournament dictionaries.
• SYRINGE and SYNERGY are among the recognizable entries.
• S begins four matches, more than any other first letter.
• S is also the most common ending, appearing on five words.
• Only two matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Which 7-letter words with Y second and G sixth stand out?

SYRINGE and SYNERGY are the clearest everyday examples in this set. Both begin with S and end in a different letter, showing how much the pattern can vary outside its fixed Y and G positions.

The starting letters are lopsided: S leads with four matches, while D and M each begin two. C, H, P, T, and Z each start one, so testing an S opener is a sensible first pass, not a guarantee.

The endings cluster too. Five words finish in S and four in Y; the remaining four end in A, E, or M. That means a final S or Y narrows the search faster than an unusual first letter.

• SYRINGE ends in E, while SYNERGY ends in Y.
• S begins four matches; D and M begin two each.
• Five matches end in S, and four end in Y.
