1,299 words fit with L in the middle, which is more room than a green square usually leaves. ABLED, AGLOW, ALLAY come first, and 112 can still be the answer, shown in green.
All 1,299 are here, ordered by what each one rules out rather than alphabetically.
Best First Guesses
With 1,299 words to get through, the first guess decides most of the round. Each one below is on this list, so it could be the answer outright, and the number beside it is how many words would still be left in the worst case.
- TALES: takes 1,299 down to 184 at worst.
- MALES: down to 204.
- WALES: down to 212.
What These Words Have in Common
The last square lands on S more than any other letter: 357 words, about a quarter of the set. The company these words keep: A (573), E (510) and S (480). Everyday English covers 77 of these 1,299 words. The remainder are valid plays that rarely reach conversation, so guess from the letters above rather than from the bottom of the list.

FAQs
Can a Wordle answer have L in the middle?
Yes. VALUE, BELOW and ALLOW all sit on the Wordle answer list, so the pattern is worth playing for rather than ruling out.
Do any of these use the same letter twice?
Yes. SALES and ALLOW are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is AALII really a word?
Yes. A small Hawaiian tree with hard dark wood. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
VALUE. It is the most ordinary word here that the answer list carries, so it is the guess to make when you want to win the round rather than learn from it.
Are all of these accepted as guesses?
Yes. Every word on this list is a legal guess, including the ones that look wrong. ZOLLE and ZILLS are among them. Only a smaller set sits on the answer list, and those are the ones marked in green.
Which of these would most players overlook?
ABLED, AGLOW and BALER. All three are on the answer list, and none is a word you would reach for early, so they are worth remembering once the obvious guesses run out.
