7-letter words with K as the 2nd letter and L as the 4th letter

The fixed letters create a small, distinctive set: 24 of the 26 words start with S, while the other two start with U. SKILLED, SKYLINE, and SKILLET are easy to recognize; entries such as SKELPIT and SKOLION are much less familiar. Only 2 entries meet the common group, so expect plenty of specialist vocabulary.

7-letter words with K as the 2nd and L as the 4th letter

• There are 26 words with K in position two and L in position four.
• S begins 24 entries; U begins the remaining 2.
• SKILLED, SKYLINE, and SKILLET are recognizable examples.
• Only 2 entries count as common by the word-frequency measure.
• The list has 19 defined entries; dictionary coverage varies.

Which words fit this letter pattern?

The dominant shape is SK?L???, as in SKILLED, SKYLINE, SKILFUL, and SKYLARK. That strong S opening is the useful solving clue: if your board confirms K second and L fourth, test S before trying other first letters. Endings split between E (6 words) and D (5), with R and S at 3 each.

The smaller U group includes UKULELE and its alternate spelling UKELELE. Those examples are a reminder not to treat the S-heavy pattern as an absolute rule. Less familiar fits include SKELTER, SKALDIC, and SKULKER.

Which matching words score the most?

SKYLARK and SKYLIKE top the scoring list at 18 points each. SKULKED and SKYLABS score 16, while SKULKER reaches 15. These totals make the K and Y combinations worth checking against open premium squares rather than spending them automatically.

The average score is 13.2, but the set is not uniformly playable across tournament lists: Collins includes 24 entries, compared with 18 in NWL2023 and 15 in ENABLE. Check your game's dictionary before committing to an unfamiliar form.
