7-letter words with K as the 2nd letter and L as the 6th letter

This pattern produces a compact set, not a broad word bank: seven entries begin with S, while eight finish with E. SKYWALK leads the Scrabble scores, and the list also includes the alternate spellings UKULELE and UKELELE. None ranks among common English words, so expect a few unfamiliar plays alongside recognizable ones.

7-letter words with K second and L sixth at a glance

• There are 10 tournament-dictionary words with K in position two and L in position six.
• Seven start with S; the other three start with U or E.
• Eight end in E, while one ends in K and one ends in S.
• Collins includes all 10; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 9.

Which words fit this K-and-L pattern?

The most familiar shape is SK----L: SKITTLE, SKIFFLE, SKIABLE, SKAT OLE, SKUTTLE, SKATOLS, and SKYWALK all begin with S, with L in the sixth slot. Remove the space in SKAT OLE when you play it; the word is SKATOLE.

Two U-starting entries, UKULELE and UKELELE, show why spelling matters in a tight pattern search. Both match the required positions, but they use different letter arrangements after the K. EKPWELE is the lone E-starting match, a much less familiar option.

Which matching word scores highest?

SKYWALK is the clear tile-score leader at 21 points, ahead of SKIFFLE at 17 and EKPWELE at 16. The first two are easier to recognize; EKPWELE is a specialist entry, so learn the word list your game uses before relying on it. A high score still depends on where you place the tiles.

It is also unusually sparse beside nearby patterns, so when one clue changes, loosen that position rather than assuming another common word will appear. For an over-the-board search, lock K and L first, then test the remaining letters against your rack.
