Thirty four words carry U second and G third, and a doubled G runs through a good part of them.
BUGGY, FUGGY, MUGGY, PUGGY, RUGGY and VUGGY all double the G and close on Y. G takes the fourth box in eight of the thirty four, level with A.
Only BUGGY and MUGGY are words most readers use. The rest are dialect or mineralogical, which makes the cluster a trap rather than a help.
OUGHT is one of the commonest modal verbs in English and AUGHT means anything at all, as in for aught I know. They differ in the opening letter and share the silent GH.
That GH is worth noting. It is the only place on this page where the spelling and the sound part company entirely.
SUGAR, RUGBY, OUGHT, BUGLE and AUGER are the entries in general use, with FUGUE and AUGUR close behind. SUGAR is the one a puzzle is most likely to want.
Y closes seven of the thirty four, E closes six and S closes six. The Y ending belongs almost entirely to the doubled G cluster.
SUGAR tests the S, A and R and sits outside both clusters. OUGHT only helps if you already suspect the GH shape.
A composition where a theme is introduced by one voice and taken up in turn by others. Bach wrote the best known examples.
To foretell or to be an omen, and as a noun a Roman official who read omens from birds. It is unrelated to AUGER, the drilling tool.
A small cavity in rock, often lined with crystals. VUGGY, VUGGS and VUGHS all come from it and all appear here.
