577 words start with L, a solid middle-tier count. This word finder has the full set, filterable by position, pattern, or exclusion.
577 words, and L's top four scorers all share the same trick: LEZZY, LAZZI, LAZZO, and LEZZA each lean on a Z near the end rather than stacking rare letters throughout.
88 of the 2,315 real Wordle answers start with L, 3.8%. A reasonable share. A wordle solver treats L as a dependable opener thanks to the number of everyday words in the list.
LABEL, LASSO, LEAPT, LIMBO, LUNAR. Everyday words, the kind that turn up first in a search for common L openers.
A scrabble word finder puts LEZZY at 26 points, L's top scorer. LAZZI, LAZZO, and LEZZA all follow at 23. None of these are words you'd use casually, but they're valid, and any word solver will surface them together.
L is a reliable early guess, 577 words behind it with plenty of common vocabulary mixed in.
LO- and LA- are nearly tied for L's biggest opening, so don't lock in on one before you have more information.
On the board, L is worth 1 point but shows up constantly. A scrabble word finder is most useful here for spotting where L extends a word already down, since it's cheap enough to play almost anywhere.
LEZZY, 26 points. A single Z near the end accounts for most of the value, the rest of the word barely registers by comparison. Any rack with a Z is worth checking against an unscrambler for a shape like this.
577 total. 88 real Wordle answers, 3.8% of them. L leans on LO- and LA- almost equally, then LI- and LE-, all four within a tight range of each other.
All 577, right below. Use the finder above if you already know a few letters, or scroll if you're just browsing.
Want a different pattern? Try words ending in E, or ones containing a letter you already know, same finder, different filter. LO, LA, and LI each get their own list too.
