The pattern fixes the final two letters as LE but leaves the first four open, so the list ranges from everyday words such as SINGLE and COUPLE to less familiar entries. Only 95 of the 501 words meet our common-word cutoff, so a matching word may still be unlikely in ordinary play.

At a glance for the LE ending

There are 501 six-letter matches, and every one ends in LE.
PEOPLE, LITTLE, SINGLE, and COUPLE are familiar examples.
The first letter R leads with 41 matches; S follows with 38.
Only 95 matches fall within the common-word cutoff.
Definitions are available for 405 entries.

How common is this final-letter pattern?

The L-and-E ending produces 501 matches, more than the same pattern ending in Y, which has 390, or S, which has 383. Those comparisons show how strongly the final letter shapes the available pool, even with L fixed in fifth position.

R is the most frequent starting letter, with 41 matches; S has 38, while B and P each have 37. For a clue with the first letter still unknown, testing those four initials covers the largest groups represented in the starting-letter counts.

Which 6-letter words with L fifth and E sixth score most?

ZIZZLE tops the scoring examples at 33 points. FIZZLE and FUZZLE each score 27, while PUZZLE scores 26. These stand apart from familiar matches such as PEOPLE and LITTLE, so the highest raw scores are not necessarily the easiest words to recognize.

The 501 matches are gathered across tournament dictionaries, not guaranteed to appear in every game's word list: Collins includes 497, NWL2023 includes 376, and ENABLE includes 357. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have L as the fifth letter and E as the last?

There are 501 matches for that pattern. Every entry ends in LE, though the first four letters vary widely, from PEOPLE and LITTLE to less familiar options.

Are any of these words common in everyday English?

Only 95 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Familiar choices include PEOPLE, LITTLE, SINGLE, and COUPLE, but many matches are less common. The top scoring examples are also unusual, so recognition and tile value do not always line up.

What is the highest-scoring word in this group?

ZIZZLE is the top scoring example at 33 points. FIZZLE and FUZZLE each score 27, and PUZZLE scores 26, making the strongest examples less familiar than PEOPLE or LITTLE.
