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

This pattern has fewer matches than the L-second words ending in S, but more than those ending in G or O. The familiar choices include plenty, slowly, cloudy, and sleepy. Only 19 matches rank among common English words, so expect the full set to include plenty of less familiar entries alongside everyday vocabulary.

At a glance: this L-and-Y pattern

Which first letters appear most often?

F accounts for 33 matches, with S at 30 and B at 27. Combined, these three starting letters appear in 90 of the 154 words.

C begins 23 matches and G begins 19, while A and K have two each. Try a less common opening only after those larger branches fail.

For comparison, 397 L-second words end in S, far more than the 154 ending in Y. That contrast makes the last tile a powerful clue when both patterns are possible.
