Only 12 entries fall among the most common English words, while 105 have definitions in the tournament dictionary sources. Treat the count as a tournament-dictionary list, not a promise that every game accepts every entry.

Which words fit this letter pattern?
The fixed letters appear in a mix of word shapes. Clearly, greatly, ideally, freshly, cheaply, cleanly, and sweetly use the pattern in adverbs; emerald, eyeball, trestle, and steeple show noun forms. Only 12 matches rank among the most common English words, so familiar examples are a sensible place to start rather than a guide to the whole set.
Final letters give you another quick filter. Y, E, and S are the most frequent endings, with 51, 36, and 26 matches respectively. Together they account for most of the results.
How to use the E-third, L-sixth pattern
For 7-letter words with E as the 3rd letter and L as the 6th letter, lock those positions before testing the remaining letters. The highest-scoring match is jeezely at 26 points; queenly and freckly each score 19. Those scores are useful checks for a rack, but an unfamiliar word still needs to be accepted by your game's dictionary.
For a crossword or word game, prioritize the familiar examples first, then check the tournament list when a rare spelling fits your other clues.
