5 Letter Words With L as the Second Letter
5 letter words with L as the second letter come to 1,031 in total, and Wordle has already taken 199 of them as answers.
5 letter words with L as the second letter take a vowel third more than four times out of five. Past answers such as BLAZE, BLEAK and BLEAT each take that shape, one tile at a time.
Given that L is fixed in the second position, the other four tiles are what decide the answer. Testing a vowel there rules out more than testing a consonant.
112 have a doubled letter, ALLAY among them. ALARM is the one most players know. Updated August 2026

FAQs
What are common 5 letter words with L as the second letter?
The ones most players know are ALARM, ALBUM, ALERT, and ALIEN. In all, 1,031 words qualify, and Wordle has already used 199 of them as answers.
What is the best Wordle guess among 5 letter words with L as the second letter?
The strongest guesses are the words Wordle has already used as answers, among them ALARM, ALBUM, and ALERT. Each spends its five tiles on letters that turn up in plenty of other words, so even a grey tile rules a lot out.
What do 5 letter words with L as the second letter usually end in?
The most frequent last letter is S, which closes 231 of them. Try S in the final tile before anything else while that square is still grey.
Are there 5 letter words with L as the second letter with double letters?
Yes, and there are more than most players expect: 112 of them repeat a letter back to back, ALLAY, ALLEY, and ALLOT among them. A repeat is the shape players rule out first, so when the board stalls, a double is worth the turn.
