6-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and S as the 5th letter

The fixed letters narrow the search to a compact set, but the first and final letters vary widely. PLEASE, ALMOST, and OLDEST show how familiar words fit; FLIMSY and CLUMSY stand out when tile points matter. Ten matches rank among the commonest English words, mixing everyday vocabulary with less familiar plays; check your game's word list before using an unfamiliar entry.

At a glance: 43 matches, with B and F in front

• The pattern has 43 six-letter matches across tournament dictionaries.
• B and F are the most frequent first letters, with nine matches each.
• E, T, and Y are tied as the most frequent final letters, with 11 apiece.
• Ten words rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• FLIMSY and BLOWSY lead the scoring examples at 14 points each.

Which words fit L in position two and S in position five?

PLEASE, ALMOST, OLDEST, and CLAUSE are easy examples to recognize. Each keeps L in the second slot and S in the fifth, while the remaining letters create very different endings: E, T, T, and E.

The less familiar choices still reveal useful patterns. CLASSY and GLOSSY end in Y, while BLUISH and ELVISH finish with H. Among the first letters, B and F each contribute nine matches; S follows with six, then G with five.

How should you choose a word from this pattern?

For a scoring play, FLIMSY and BLOWSY are the leaders at 14 points, followed by CLUMSY at 13. ELVISH, FLOSSY, ELFISH, and FLYEST each score 12, so a strong letter mix matters more than choosing a familiar-looking word.

The set is not equally broad across dictionaries: 42 matches appear in Collins, 33 in NWL2023, and 31 in ENABLE. Treat the 43-word total as a combined tournament-dictionary count, not a promise that every game accepts every entry. 6-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and S as the 5th letter are a pattern list, not a substitute for checking your game's rules.
