The pattern is _ _ _ L E _, so the first three letters and final letter remain open. CALLED, KILLED and FILLED show how often this shape ends in D, while VALLEY and TOILET take different routes. Collins includes 619 matches, compared with 484 in NWL2023 and 459 in ENABLE, so a word’s acceptance depends on your game’s dictionary.

How many 6-letter words have L fourth and E fifth?

There are 629 matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
A hundred matches fall among the most common English words by frequency.
CALLED, KILLED, FAILED, VALLEY and FILLED are recognizable examples.
BIFLEX leads the high-scoring examples at 18 points.
Collins has 619 matches, while NWL2023 has 484 and ENABLE has 459.

Which words fit the _ _ _ L E _ pattern?

Start with everyday words that make the letter positions easy to see: CALLED, FAILED, FILLED and PULLED all put L in fourth place and E in fifth. VALLEY follows the same pattern but ends in Y, while TOILET finishes with T.

The final letter is a useful narrowing clue. Among these matches, 194 end in D, 141 end in S and 132 end in R. If your rack or puzzle already suggests one of those endings, try it before testing less common endings such as X or N.

Which matches score highest, and where are they accepted?

BIFLEX is the top scorer at 18 points; JOWLED, DEFLEX and IMPLEX each score 17. Those unusual letter combinations can make a strong play, but they are less familiar than examples such as KILLED or TABLET. Check your game’s word list before relying on an obscure entry.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins has 619 matches, NWL2023 has 484 and ENABLE has 459. That difference matters more than memorizing every candidate. For a quick solving pass, lock in the _ _ _ L E _ shape, test familiar endings first, then consult the right list for your game.

Questions people ask
