A fixed second letter narrows a long word search quickly: look for words beginning with a consonant or vowel followed by L. The leading starts are E and P, while more than half of the entries end in S. Only two rank among the most common English words, so familiar-looking word parts can matter more than everyday vocabulary.

14-letter words with L as the 2nd letter at a glance

345 words match the pattern across the tournament dictionaries.
Collins includes 328 matches; NWL2023 includes 218, and ENABLE includes 185.
Only two matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
A total of 207 matches end in S, making it the leading final letter.
Alexipharmakon scores 32 points, the highest score among the examples.

Which first letters and endings appear most often?

E is the most common starting letter, with 53 matches, just ahead of P at 52. U follows with 42, then C with 38 and A with 36. These openings make electronically, classification, and alphabetically strong examples when you know the second tile is L.

S dominates the final position: 207 words end in S. Y is next with 34, while E appears at the end of 18 and N at the end of 16. The S-heavy ending points to many plural or inflected forms, so check whether the clue's final letter is fixed before narrowing your search.

The pattern covers several recognizable word-building families. Electronically and electrotherapy share the ELECTRO opening, while climatologists and climatological share CLIMATO. Spotting a familiar stem can help you test a long candidate without guessing every letter.

Which entries are worth checking in a word game?

Dictionary coverage differs across the three tournament lists: Collins has 328 matches, compared with 218 in NWL2023 and 185 in ENABLE. Those totals overlap, so they are not separate groups to add together. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry.

High scores come from specialized vocabulary rather than common conversation. Alexipharmakon leads at 32 points; plethysmograph and flunitrazepams each score 30, while clavicytherium scores 29. These are strong tile-value candidates, but their rarity makes them risky guesses when you cannot verify the word.

Questions people ask

How many words have L as the second letter and 14 letters?

There are 345 14-letter words with L in the second position across the tournament dictionaries. The count includes entries in at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE, rather than requiring a word to appear in every list. Examples include electronically and slaughterhouse.

Which 14-letter word with L second scores the most?

Alexipharmakon is the highest-scoring example at 32 points. Plethysmograph and flunitrazepams follow at 30 points each, with clavicytherium and ultracivilized at 29. These unusual terms can be valuable when their letter values fit your rack and your game accepts them.

Are many of these 14-letter words common in everyday English?

No. Only two matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Electronically and classification are more recognizable examples, while terms such as glyceraldehyde and plasmapheresis are specialized. For a game move, confirm unfamiliar entries in the dictionary your game uses.
