The pattern is _L_P__, with L fixed in the second slot and P in the fourth. SLOPES and ELOPED show how different the remaining letters can look, while FLOPPY and FLAPPY offer a punchier shape. Just 3 matches rank as common by word frequency, so expect many unfamiliar options alongside recognizable ones.

Pattern counts at a glance

  • 34 six-letter words match _L_P__; all 34 appear in Collins, compared with 26 in ENABLE and 27 in NWL2023.
  • Only 3 matches rank as common by word frequency, making this a pattern with many uncommon candidates.
  • SLOPES, SLOPPY, FLOPPY, and FLAPPY are recognizable examples among the matches.
  • S is the most common first letter, with 9 words; C follows with 7.
  • S is the most common final letter, with 12 words; D follows with 9.

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

The pattern includes SLOPES, SLOPPY, FLOPPY, FLAPPY, ELOPED, and GLYPHS. Their first and last letters vary, but each keeps L second and P fourth. SLOPES and SLOPPY share their opening letters; ELOPED and ELOPES show another close pair.

Word endings narrow the choices: 12 matches end in S, 9 in D, and 6 in Y. If you know the final letter, start with that group rather than testing every possible first letter. Only 3 matches are classed as common, so less familiar spellings are part of this search.

Which matches score highest?

FLOPPY, FLAPPY, and FLIPPY each score 16 points in Scrabble before board bonuses. GLYPHS, KLEPHT, and FLYPED score 15, while GLOPPY scores 14. The high scorers lean on less familiar spellings, so a strong rack score does not guarantee an easy-to-remember word.

The 34 6-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and P as the 4th letter do not all travel across dictionaries: Collins includes 34, while ENABLE includes 26 and NWL2023 includes 27. Check your game's word list before playing. The uncommon entries can be valuable on a rack, but dictionary coverage is the catch.

Questions people ask

Are all 34 L-and-P pattern words accepted in Scrabble?
No, dictionary coverage differs across word-game lists. Collins includes all 34 matches, while ENABLE includes 26 and NWL2023 includes 27. Check the word list used by your game before playing an unfamiliar option such as KLEPHT or FLYPED.
Which first letter appears most often in this pattern?
S leads, starting 9 of the matching words, and C is next with 7. Examples beginning with S include SLOPES and SLOPPY. That makes S a useful first-letter filter when you already know the second and fourth positions.
Why do many of these six-letter words look unfamiliar?
Only 3 of the 34 matches rank as common by word frequency. Familiar examples such as FLOPPY and SLOPES sit beside less familiar entries such as KLEPHT and FLYPED, so the fixed letter pattern reaches well beyond everyday vocabulary.
