Words Starting With "L" FAQ

What makes L one of the most reliable letters in Scrabble?

L is worth 1 point and there are 4 L tiles in the set. The real value is how many common words end in L. "Ball", "bell", "call", "fall", "fill", "hall", "hill", "kill", "mill", "pull", "roll", "sell", "tall", "tell", "toll", and "well" are all straightforward plays. That list alone gives L incredible hooking potential on a crowded board.

What L words should crossword solvers know?

"Laze", "lure", "lute", "lynx", and "lyre" are short L words that show up in grids often. "Lea" (an open meadow) is a crossword classic that trips up casual solvers. "Lox" and "lav" are also worth knowing. For longer entries, "lacuna", "lagoon", and "lament" are common crossword answers that constructors reach for when they need a clean L word.

What L words make strong Wordle guesses?

"Lathe", "lance", "laser", and "lemon" cover solid letter combinations. "Lunar", "liver", and "lodge" hit different vowel patterns. L is a nice letter for Wordle because it does not constrain the rest of the word much. Once you confirm L in the first position, "large", "light", and "limit" are reliable next guesses to work through.
