The shared double L sits in the middle of every match, but the words around it vary widely. CALLED, KILLED, FELLOW, VALLEY, and YELLOW are easy to recognize; many other entries are less familiar. Of the 292 words, 53 are common by frequency, so the pattern gives you a focused starting point rather than a guarantee of everyday vocabulary.

How many 6-letter words have L in both positions?

  • There are 292 matches with L in the third and fourth positions.
  • CALLED, FOLLOW, VALLEY, and YELLOW are familiar examples.
  • A total of 53 matches fall among the common words by frequency.
  • Words ending in D lead the final-letter group, followed by words ending in R.
  • QULLIQ heads the scoring list at 24 points.

Which words are easiest to spot?

Start with familiar forms such as CALLED, KILLED, FILLED, and PULLED. They share the pattern _ _ L L _ _, and their endings make the final two slots easier to test. FOLLOW and FELLOW offer a different route: both put a familiar vowel after the double L.

The ending distribution has a clear leader: 52 matches end in D, while 45 end in R and 39 end in S. That makes endings such as -ED and -ER productive checks when your crossing letters support them. First letters spread out more evenly; B leads with 30 words, followed by H with 28.

How should you use the double-L pattern?

For a word game, lock in the two middle L tiles first, then use known crossings to narrow the outer four letters. The average score is 8.9, but QULLIQ stands apart at 24; ZILLAH scores 18. Those leaders are less familiar than CALLED or YELLOW, so a strong rack score and a likely answer are not always the same thing.

Dictionary coverage differs across the included lists: Collins has 285 matches, NWL2023 has 223, and ENABLE has 210. The overall count includes words appearing in at least one tournament dictionary, not words accepted by every game. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have LL as the third and fourth letters?
There are 292 six-letter words with L in both the third and fourth positions. Familiar examples include CALLED, FOLLOW, VALLEY, and YELLOW. Only 53 matches are common by frequency, so the pattern also includes many less familiar entries.
Which words ending in LL are six letters long?

QULLIQ is the highest-scoring match at 24 points. ZILLAH follows at 18, while JOLLEY, HALLUX, and JOLLOF each score 16. The top score is a useful clue, but unfamiliar high-value words still need to fit the board and your game's dictionary.
