The pattern fixes two positions: the fourth tile is L, and the final tile is S. Familiar examples include skills, fields, adults, titles, and styles, but the full set ranges well beyond everyday vocabulary. Only 42 entries fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect plenty of specialist or less familiar plays.

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

  • There are 359 matches across ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023.
  • Only 42 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • S is the most common first letter, beginning 74 matches.
  • C is the next most common start, with 30 words.
  • The E-fourth, S-last pattern has 907 matches, far more than this L pattern.

Which letters start the most matches?

S leads by a wide margin: 74 words start with S, compared with 30 beginning with C. A, M, and T follow with 22, 21, and 21, so checking an S start first is a strong move when your opening tile is unknown.

The examples show how varied those starts can be. Skills and styles begin with S; cables and cycles begin with C; adults and apples begin with A. Each keeps L in position four and finishes with S, despite very different beginnings.

What should you know before playing these words?

For a scoring target, qualms, fjelds, and qiblas each reach 17 points before board bonuses. Whelks and jhalas score 16, while quilts, majlis, quills, chalks, and quells each score 15. The average score across the set is 9.1.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins accepts 355 of these words, NWL2023 accepts 254, and ENABLE accepts 234. The 359 total counts words found in at least one of those tournament lists, not words accepted everywhere.

A useful distinction: the pattern gives you a dependable final S, but it does not guarantee an easy-to-place word. Familiar choices such as skills or fields are easier to recognize; the top scorers include less common vocabulary. For 6-letter words with L as the 4th letter and S as the 6th letter, check both your rack and your game's word list.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have L fourth and S last?
There are 359 matches in the combined tournament-dictionary count. Examples include skills, fields, adults, titles, and styles. The count includes a word if it appears in at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023, so your game may accept fewer.
Which word in this pattern scores the most?
Qualms, fjelds, and qiblas tie for the highest score at 17 points each, before board bonuses. Whelks and jhalas follow at 16 points. Actual totals change with letter and word multipliers on the board.
Are these six-letter words all common words?
No. Only 42 are among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Skills, fields, and adults are familiar examples, while some high scorers are less familiar. Tournament acceptance also varies by dictionary, so verify an unfamiliar word in your game's list.
