7-letter words with F as the 1st letter and L as the 6th letter

The pattern fixes five positions only in part: F opens each word, L sits sixth, and the other letters vary. That leaves 117 matches across the tournament dictionaries. Familiar picks such as FORMULA and FRAGILE sit beside less everyday entries, so the pattern is broad enough for a word search but not a promise that every result will suit every game.

7-letter words with F as the 1st letter and L as the 6th letter

• There are 117 matches across ENABLE, Collins and NWL2023.
• Only 12 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by word frequency.
• FINALLY, FORMULA and FRANKLY are recognizable examples.
• Y is the most common final letter, appearing in 41 matches.
• FUZZILY, FRIZZLY and FIZZILY lead the scoring list at 31 points each.

Which letters usually finish these F-and-L words?

Y, E and S dominate the endings: 41 words finish in Y, 31 in E and 28 in S. Together, those three endings account for 100 of the 117 matches, leaving just 17 words ending in five other letters.

That distribution gives you a useful solving shortcut. Once F and the sixth-position L are fixed, test a likely final Y, E or S before spending guesses on rarer endings such as A, D, I or T. FAINtly and FRESHLY show how often an adverb ending in Y fits.

Which matches score highest, and where do counts differ?

FUZZILY, FRIZZLY and FIZZILY each score 31 points, far ahead of familiar words such as FORMULA. All three leaders contain two Zs, making them striking rack options when the board offers a premium square. FRIZZLE and FRAZZLE follow at 28 points apiece.

Dictionary totals differ: ENABLE has 93 matches, NWL2023 has 101 and Collins has 114, compared with 117 overall. The dictionary sets overlap, so those counts are not additive. Only 82 matches have definitions, and just 12 are common by word frequency; check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
