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

The pattern fixes the fourth slot as L and the final slot as N, leaving the other four letters open. STOLEN, FALLEN, GALLON, and VIOLIN are recognizable entries; PHYLON and CYCLIN are stronger board-scoring options. Only 9 matches are classed as common, so expect a mix of familiar words and specialist vocabulary rather than an everyday-only set.

How many matches fit L fourth and N last?

There are 74 matches, but the familiar examples are a small slice: STOLEN, FALLEN, GALLON, and VIOLIN stand out among the 9 common entries. The wider set includes less everyday terms such as MYELIN, KAOLIN, and MUFLON.

The starting letters are unevenly distributed. M leads with 12 words, while C starts 8 and P starts 7. For a puzzle, test the first letter against known crossings instead of assuming the open slots follow one common word family.

Which matches score well, and where does the list narrow?

PHYLON scores 14 points in Scrabble, the top score among these matches. CYCLIN and CYMLIN follow at 13, with HYALIN at 12. Those unusual letter combinations can pay off on premium squares, but only if the word fits your board and game dictionary.

6-letter words with L as the 4th letter and N as the 6th letter are much less common in play than their total count suggests: only 9 are classed as common. Collins has 74 matches, while NWL2023 has 46, so the available choices depend on your game's word list. Check that list before committing to a rare entry.
