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

This fixed pattern leaves little room for guesswork: the second letter must be L, and the final letter must be A. The group is small, with just one word counted as common. Its strongest everyday foothold is algebra; much of the rest, including altezza and alforja, is specialist vocabulary. Start with the first-letter split to narrow a search quickly.

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

• Thirty tournament-dictionary entries fit the pattern, and every one ends in A.
• Algebra is the clearest familiar example; it is also the sole word in this group counted as common.
• A leads with 14 words, while P is next with 7; six other first letters appear.
• Altezza tops the score list at 25, ahead of albizia and alcorza at 18 each.
• The average score is 11.2, but most entries are uncommon.

Which first letters narrow the search fastest?

A is the best first-letter filter: 14 of the 30 matches begin with it. P supplies 7 more, so checking those two openings covers 21 words before you consider any other start. Algebra, alameda, and alfalfa show the A-heavy side; platina and pleroma are examples from P.

The remaining starts are scattered across F, G, O, C, I, and U. Each of F, G, and O accounts for 2 words, while C, I, and U account for 1 each. If the first tile is known, this uneven split makes A or P a stronger shortlist than any of those single-word starts.

How should you use these matches in a word game?

Altezza is the standout for a score-focused play, with 25 points before any board premiums; albizia and alcorza each score 18. Alforja follows at 17, while alfalfa, clarkia, and alpacca each score 13. Those totals make rare letters tempting, but the names are much less familiar than algebra.

For 7-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and A as the 7th letter, dictionary coverage matters: all 30 appear in Collins, compared with 18 in NWL2023 and 16 in ENABLE. The Collins total does not make every answer tournament-safe, so check your game's word list once you have a candidate. No entries match the Wordle answer or allowed-guess lists.
