The pattern is _L____S: hold L in the second spot and S at the end, then work through the remaining letters. Familiar fits include CLASSES, CLOTHES, FLOWERS, and CLIENTS. Only 23 matches rank among common English words, so many of the less familiar options need a dictionary check before you play them.

A quick read on the _L____S pattern

The pattern matches 350 tournament-dictionary words.
A is the most common opening letter, with 68 matches; P follows with 45.
PLAYERS, CLASSES, and CLOTHES are recognizable examples.
BLOWZES leads the scoring examples at 21 points, followed by KLUTZES at 20.
Only 23 matches are common English words, despite the large total.

Which matching words score the most?

BLOWZES takes the top spot at 21 points. KLUTZES scores 20, while FLYWAYS and FLYOFFS each reach 19. BLAZERS, PLAQUES, CLIQUES, BLITZES, KLAXONS, and FLYBOYS all score 18.

Those leaders are less familiar than everyday fits such as PLAYERS or CLOTHES.

The average score is 10.7, a reminder that the leading scorers are outliers. Many approachable examples are plural forms or inflections: PLAYERS, CLASSES, FLOWERS, and GLASSES. If you are sorting a rack, check the opening letter first; A accounts for the largest opening-letter group, while P and F are the next strongest groups.

Board premiums can change a play's result from its score.

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

Dictionary coverage varies across the matching words: Collins has 344, NWL2023 has 270, and ENABLE has 250. Those totals overlap, so they describe each dictionary separately rather than separate piles to add together. A fit accepted in one game can still be rejected in another.

A total of 313 matches have definitions, but only 23 are common English words. That contrast explains why a pattern can produce many valid entries yet still feel difficult to solve from memory. For an unfamiliar candidate, confirm the word list used in your game before spending a turn on it.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have L second and S last?

The pattern has 350 matching words in the tournament-dictionary count. It fixes L in position two and S in position seven, leaving the other five positions open. PLAYERS, CLASSES, and FLOWERS are familiar examples that satisfy both clues.

What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?

BLOWZES is the highest-scoring example, worth 21 points. KLUTZES scores 20, and FLYWAYS and FLYOFFS each score 19. The leaders are less everyday choices than PLAYERS or CLOTHES, so check that your game's dictionary accepts them.

Are all 350 words accepted in every word game?

No. Collins contains 344 matches, NWL2023 has 270, and ENABLE has 250; the counts overlap because words can appear in more than one dictionary. An unfamiliar match may not be accepted by your game's lexicon, so verify it before playing.
