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

The familiar end of the group includes DETAIL, RETAIL, RECALL, and ENTAIL; rarer choices such as JEZAIL and MEZAIL matter more when points beat familiarity.

How many 6-letter words with A fourth and L sixth exist?

There are 52 matches. R is the most common first letter, with 7; A, E, and S follow with 6 apiece. DETAIL, RETAIL, RECALL, ENTAIL, and DERAIL are familiar choices, while SPRAWL, THRALL, BEFALL, and SQUALL add a different sound to the same fixed pattern.

This is a narrower fourth-letter slice than some alternatives: putting T in slot four and keeping L last yields 88 words, compared with 52 for A. Keep A fourth but change the final letter to S, and the count rises to 609. When your known letters are firm, testing another open slot can quickly broaden the search.

Which matching words score the most?

JEZAIL leads at 22 points, followed by MEZAIL at 17; SQUALL and SQUAIL each score 15, and those unusual spellings put high-value letters to work. OXGALL scores 14, while OXTAIL and SAXAUL each reach 13. DETAIL and RETAIL are easier to recognize, but neither tops the raw tile-score ranking.

Collins lists 51 matches, while NWL2023 lists 31 and ENABLE lists 30. The 52-word total combines entries found in at least one tournament dictionary, so it does not mean every game accepts every word. Just 4 matches are common; check your game's word list before building a play around a rarer option such as JEZAIL or MEZAIL.
