About 4-letter words starting with LE

Every word here is exactly 4 letters with le locked into the first slot. Ranked 42 of 62, "le" is a middling opening at this length: common enough to be worth guessing, rare enough that the list stays readable.

A two-letter opening is a real unit of English rather than two separate tiles. Onsets are constrained: plenty of letter pairs never begin a word at all, so once you have confirmed two, most of the dictionary is already gone. Inside this set, the letter sitting immediately next to the fixed pair is most often A (10), E (6), N (5).

People search this one both ways round, as four letter words starting with le and as le words 4 letters. Both mean the same thing, and this is the list. If the length is wrong, the sibling lengths are below.

Quick answers

How many 4-letter words starting with le are there?

46 of them, out of 5,529 four-letter words, or about 0.8% of the length. Ranked 42 of 62, "le" is a middling opening at this length: common enough to be worth guessing, rare enough that the list stays readable.

Why does this page only cover 4-letter words?

Because a length and an opening together are what you usually know. If you need a different size, the list below moves "le" to the other lengths that have enough words to be worth a page. Dropping the length entirely gives you every word starting with L instead.

What usually comes next in these words?

The letter just inside the fixed pair is most often A (10), E (6), N (5). A two-letter opening is a real unit of English rather than two separate tiles. Onsets are constrained: plenty of letter pairs never begin a word at all, so once you have confirmed two, most of the dictionary is already gone.

Do you have a page for every two-letter opening?

No, and deliberately so. A pair only gets a page when at least 35 four-letter words share it. Below that the list is too short to be worth a visit, so we send you to the single-letter list instead.

Are proper nouns or abbreviations included?

No. Only standard dictionary words appear, which matches what Wordle, Scrabble, and crossword grids accept. A missing word is almost always a name, a hyphenation, or an abbreviation.
