6-letter words with L as the 4th letter and A as the 6th letter

The pattern fixes two slots: L sits fourth, and A closes every word. That leaves a compact set of 36 entries, from familiar names such as STELLA and AMELIA to less everyday words like QUELEA and SCILLA. Only two meet the common-word frequency measure, so the strongest candidates for a puzzle may not be the easiest to recall; start with names you know, then check the fixed slots.

6-letter words with L as the 4th letter and A as the 6th letter

• All 36 matches end in A, with L fixed in the fourth position.
• AZALEA, QUALIA, AZOLLA, and QUELEA each score 15.
• Eleven entries begin with A; S is next with five.
• STELLA, AMELIA, and DAHLIA are recognizable examples.
• Only two entries qualify as common by our frequency measure.

The top scores come from unusual spellings

AZALEA, QUALIA, AZOLLA, and QUELEA share the highest score at 15 points. The first is a familiar flower name; QUALIA is less likely to spring to mind during a timed game, despite tying for the lead.

AXILLA scores 13, while CHOLLA, CHALLA, and PSYLLA each score 11. Those choices show why a pattern solver and a scoring list serve different needs: recognizable STELLA may come to mind quickly, but it does not lead the scoring group.

AZALEA is easy to recognize, but the shared 15-point score makes QUALIA and AZOLLA equally strong on paper.

A small list with uneven dictionary coverage

The dictionary counts are 24 in ENABLE, 34 in Collins, and 28 in NWL2023. These sets overlap, so their counts should not be added together; each word is counted once in the total of 36.

Only two entries are common, and 27 have definitions. That makes this pattern better for checking a fixed board clue than for relying on everyday vocabulary alone. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
