There are 270 five-letter words containing both G and N, and 164 of them are words you would expect to see in everyday writing. The rest are technical terms, plurals, variant spellings and the odd loanword, all of which are legal in most tile games. The highest-scoring entry is ZINGY at 18 points. Scan the common words first, then dip into the rare ones when the board leaves you no other option.
How to use this page
This page works as both a reference and a tool. As a reference, it lists every word that contain both G and N, sorted by familiarity. As a tool, it accepts your own letters in the search box and returns the subset you can play, with scores. The related links at the end cover neighbouring letters and lengths.
Tips
A word list is also a study tool. Reading through the five-letter words containing both G and N once or twice is enough to make the unusual ones familiar, and familiarity is what lets you spot a play under time pressure. Try covering the list and writing down as many as you can, then compare. Use the definitions on this page to attach meaning to the words you did not know, since a word with a meaning sticks far better than a string of letters. Return to the list after a few days and repeat.
Questions
What is the highest-scoring word among the five-letter words containing both G and N?

Why are some of these words unfamiliar?
106 of the 270 words on this page are tagged rare, meaning they fall outside the usual spell-check vocabulary. They are still real words, and many are legal plays, but you should expect a challenge if someone asks you to define them.
