Thirteen words hold G second and A third, and one of them is far more common than all the rest together.

AGAIN Dominates the GA Group

AGAIN is an ordinary word that anybody would produce. Nothing else here comes close, and the gap between it and the next most familiar entry is about as wide as this site offers.

The GA Words Behind AGAIN

AGATE, AGAPE and AGAVE are the next tier and all recognisable. AGAMA is a lizard, AGAMI a bird, AGARS a culture medium and OGAMS an early Irish alphabet.

One GA Word Breaks the Vowel Rule

Twelve of the thirteen open with a vowel, so NGAIO is the odd one out, a New Zealand tree. UGALI, an East African maize porridge, is the other entry that feels imported.

E closes four of the thirteen and S closes three. Between them that is most of the last box, so those two are worth testing first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AGAIN worth guessing here

Almost always. It is the one entry in this group that ordinary writing uses, so a puzzle landing on GA usually wants it.

What is an AGAVE

A succulent plant from the Americas, the source of tequila and sisal. It is the most recognisable of the plant names here.

How do AGAMA and AGAMI differ

AGAMA is a lizard and AGAMI a South American bird, and the last letter is all that stands between them.

What does AGAPE mean

Either wide open, as in a mouth agape, or a Greek word for selfless love. Both senses are in use.

What is OGAMS

The plural of ogam, an early medieval Irish alphabet carved as notches along an edge. It is also spelled ogham.
