With the second and fourth positions fixed, the first, third, fifth, and final letters do the sorting work. Familiar matches include FAILED, FALLEN, TABLES, EAGLES, and GARLIC. The group is not all everyday vocabulary: 38 entries are common by word frequency, while many others are less familiar or specialized.

6-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and L as the 4th letter

  • Exactly 250 six-letter words fit the A-second, L-fourth pattern.
  • CALLED, FAILED, VALLEY, WALLET, and BALLET are familiar examples.
  • S is the most common final letter, with 52 matches; D follows with 42.
  • B leads as the first letter with 30 matches, followed by C with 27 and M with 26.
  • Only 38 matches count as common by word frequency.
  • Definitions cover 205 of the 250 matches.

Which endings and starting letters appear most?

S is the most frequent final letter, appearing in 52 matches; D follows with 42, then T with 33 and R with 32. TABLES and CABLES show the S ending, while CALLED, FAILED, and NAILED show the D ending.

B heads the first-letter count with 30 words, ahead of C at 27 and M at 26. Compare that with the O-second, L-fourth pattern, which has 206 matches; A in the second position produces a larger group.

Which matches work across word-game dictionaries?

Collins includes 248 of these words, while NWL2023 includes 188 and ENABLE includes 180. The counts differ, so a match in one tournament dictionary is not automatically accepted in another.

For Scrabble scoring, HALLUX leads at 16 points. MAJLIS and WAYLAY each score 15, while JAILED scores 14. Those less familiar high scorers stand out beside everyday matches such as TABLET and WALLET.
