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

The fixed pattern is _L_E___, so L and E anchor the word while the first, third, fifth, sixth, and seventh letters remain open. That leaves room for everyday words such as ALREADY and CLIENTS alongside less familiar entries. Most matches are not common words, and dictionary coverage varies: check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar option.

How many 7-letter words fit L 2nd, E 4th?

There are 101 matches across the tournament dictionaries. ALREADY follows A-L-R-E-A-D-Y, while ILLEGAL uses I-L-L-E-G-A-L; both make the position clue easy to verify. ALLEGED and ELDERLY offer other recognizable examples, with different letters filling the remaining slots.

The opening letter gives you a strong first filter: 39 words start with A, but only 1 starts with I. Endings split more evenly, with D and S tied at 17 each. If you have a final letter from a crossing clue, use it before guessing among the many A-openers.

Which matches score highest, and where are they accepted?

ALTEZZA leads the scoring list at 25 points, ahead of BLUEJAY and ALFEREZ at 19 each. KLEENEX scores 18. These are tile-score figures, so a board premium can change the points you actually collect; the high scorer is also far less familiar than ALREADY.

Collins includes 99 matches, compared with 67 in NWL2023 and 62 in ENABLE; those counts overlap rather than add up to 101. For 7-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and E as the 4th letter, treat the full group as a clue-solving pool, not a promise that every word is playable in your game.
