Why LA words matter

Words containing LA are handy for Scrabble, Words with Friends and word puzzles — filter the list above by length to find the play you need.

What the numbers say

A few numbers before you scroll: the 9976 words here run from 2 to 15 letters, with 8-letter words the largest group (1629 entries). Wordle players have 305 five-letter options, and there are 1106 seven-letter candidates for a Scrabble bingo. The single best scorer is CYCLOHEXYLAMINE at 37 points before multipliers.

The five biggest scorers on the page: CYCLOHEXYLAMINE (37), HYPERPOLARIZING (35), BLACKJACKING (34), HYDROXYLAPATITE (34), HYPERPOLARIZED (34). At 15 letters, ACANTHOCEPHALAN is the longest word on the list; a typical entry scores around 15. Letter-wise, A is the workhorse — it appears in 9976 of these words, ahead of L (9976) and E (6148).

Three easy picks from this list

ALA — a 3-letter, 3-point play that slots into tight board lanes where longer words won't fit.
When the rack looks hopeless, LAR (3 letters, 3 points) is the kind of quiet play that keeps a game moving.
LAS is easy to keep in memory: 3 letters, 3 points, and no awkward tiles to hunt for.

Round out your set with LAT (3), ALAE (4), ALAN (4), ALAR (4), ALAS (4) — all built from common tiles.

Learning words through LA

If you are studying English, LA is a high-leverage chunk: instead of memorising each word cold, anchor the LA pattern and let the surrounding letters vary. Word-game players get a parallel benefit — when a crossword grid or a Wordle guess reveals the LA sequence, this page is the complete candidate pool, already sorted by Scrabble value.
