Every match ends in Y, but the openings vary: S leads with 42 words, while D has 31 and G and W have 27 each. Familiar examples include FAMILY and NEARLY; MIZZLY sits at the other end of the familiarity scale. The set includes words listed in at least one tournament dictionary, so acceptance can differ between games.

At a glance: the L-Y pattern

  • The fixed pattern is _ _ _ _ L Y, with 390 matching six-letter words.
  • 75 entries fall in our common-word band.
  • REALLY, FAMILY, LIKELY, and SIMPLY are recognizable examples.
  • S is the most frequent first letter, with 42 matches; D follows with 31.
  • MIZZLY scores 29 points, ahead of SOZZLY at 27 and JEEZLY at 25.

6-letter words with L as the 5th letter and Y as the 6th letter

The final two slots narrow the search to L-Y, but the first four letters still create a broad mix. Alongside REALLY and LIKELY, the examples include EASILY, MOSTLY, SLOWLY, and WIDELY. Many familiar entries are adverbs, which makes the ending especially easy to spot when you already know the word's role in a sentence.

Not every entry is an adverb. FAMILY is a common noun, LOVELY is an adjective, and SUPPLY works as a noun or a verb. That mix matters for a pattern clue: knowing the ending does not tell you what kind of word fits, so use the surrounding letters and sentence context to narrow the candidates.

Which L-Y words score highest?

MIZZLY leads the scoring examples at 29 points; SOZZLY follows at 27, then JEEZLY at 25. HAZILY scores 21, while COZILY, JUMBLY, JOKILY, JIMPLY, and MAZILY each score 20. The top values come from unusual spellings and high-value letters, not from the most familiar words.

For everyday play, REALLY or FAMILY is easier to recognize than MIZZLY or SOZZLY. The trade-off is that a familiar-looking answer is not automatically accepted in every game: these 390 matches come from tournament dictionaries, and individual word lists can differ. Check the list used in your game before relying on a rare scorer.
