Below you will find all 139 five-letter words starting with L and ending in S from our dictionary, grouped in one list with the common words first. Each chip shows the word and its classic tile score, and a small dot marks the words that appear in everyday English. LACKS, LOCKS and LIKES are typical of the familiar entries. To check which of these you can spell right now, enter your letters in the box above and press search.

How to use this page

Start by scanning the common words at the top; they are the ones most likely to be accepted and remembered. Then check the quick facts for the highest-scoring options. If you have a rack in front of you, the search box applies this page's constraint to your letters and returns only what you can play.

Tips

The list puts common words first for a reason: they are the ones an opponent is least likely to challenge and the ones you will remember next time. When two plays score about the same, prefer the common word. Save the rare entries for situations where they are clearly better, such as a triple-word square that only an obscure word can reach. If you are learning vocabulary or solving a puzzle for a newspaper, stick to the very common words marked with a dot; they are the ones the setter almost certainly had in mind.

Questions

What is the highest-scoring word among the five-letter words starting with L and ending in S?

LAZES scores 14 points with classic tile values, ignoring board multipliers. The full top ten is in the quick facts above; switch the tile set on the search tool if you play with different letter values.

Why are some of these words unfamiliar?

49 of the 139 words on this page are tagged rare, meaning they fall outside the usual spell-check vocabulary. They are still real words, and many are legal plays, but you should expect a challenge if someone asks you to define them.
