A final S is fixed across all 247 matches, leaving the middle four letters to do the work. LEVELS doubles one letter, LEAVES repeats another, and LADIES takes a different route entirely. Twenty-seven entries are common by frequency, while 208 have definitions, so the pattern mixes everyday plays with plenty of specialist vocabulary.

At a glance: the L-to-S frame

  • 247 words begin with L and finish with S.
  • LEVELS, LEAVES, LADIES and LIGHTS are among the examples.
  • LEZZAS, LEZZES and LUZZES each score 24.
  • The average tile score is 8.5.

Which entries have the strongest tile scores?

Treat the terminal S as a constraint already solved, not a bonus clue that narrows the list further. The word to test next is the second letter: LEVELS, LABELS and LAUGHS take different paths after L. If your board shows a repeated pair, compare LEVELS with LOSSES or LIMITS with LIGHTS before spending a turn.

The three 24-point leaders are far less familiar than the everyday candidates. That gap matters in casual play: a theoretical score is useful only when your game accepts the word and you know where it fits. For a steadier choice, compare the board openings for LABELS, LAUGHS and LOCALS, then account for any premium squares.

The fixed ending also makes word forms easy to overread. A terminal S appears in every entry because it is part of the clue pattern, yet the set includes more than simple plurals. Compare the whole spelling against your crossing letters, especially when a tempting high-scoring candidate is unfamiliar.

By contrast, 910 six-letter words begin and end with S. That larger sibling set shows how sharply the first letter shapes this clue, even with the terminal S fixed in both patterns.

What does the final S tell you?

Tip

Every match ends in S, but the preceding letter varies across the whole set.

Questions people ask

How many candidates match the l-1st-and-s-6th-letter pattern?
The tournament word lists contain 247 matches for this arrangement. LEVELS is one example to compare with the letters already on your board. The count combines entries accepted by at least one of Collins, NWL2023 or ENABLE, so the exact playable set depends on your game.
What is the top base score in the l-1st-and-s-6th-letter group?
LEZZAS reaches 24 points before board premiums. That makes it the score leader among these candidates, though a lower-valued familiar word may fit your crossings better. Treat the number as a starting comparison and confirm an unfamiliar spelling in the word list used by your game.
Are most l-1st-and-s-6th-letter words common?
27 entries fall within the common-word frequency group. The remaining matches include specialist vocabulary alongside familiar options such as LEVELS. That mix is why exact pattern checks matter: a word can fit both fixed positions and still be unfamiliar or unavailable in a particular game.
