The Mighty LE Ending
LE is one of English's most productive word endings. ABLE, TABLE, BUBBLE, SIMPLE, CASTLE, GENTLE, PURPLE -- the list is enormous. What makes LE special is its versatility: it forms adjectives (CAPABLE, NOTABLE), nouns (BATTLE, RIDDLE), and verbs (HANDLE, SETTLE). In crosswords, LE endings are everywhere because they use the two most common consonant-vowel pairs in the language. Constructors rely on words like AGILE, EXILE, and AMPLE to create clean grid fill.
For Scrabble players, the LE ending is a rack-balancing tool. If you're holding an L and an E, almost any combination of letters in front of them can form a word. The suffix -ABLE alone generates hundreds of valid plays: DOABLE, FIXABLE, TAXABLE, MIXABLE. That -ABLE pattern is worth memorizing because it turns nearly any verb into an adjective. Words in the 7-to-9 letter range dominate, making LE words strong bingo candidates. The solver above handles LE patterns quickly -- punch in what you know and let it fill the rest. Browse words ending in ED for the past tense of many LE verbs, or check words ending in N for related patterns. Also look at words starting with Q for QUIBBLE and QUARREL-type entries.
FAQ
What's the difference between -ABLE and -IBLE endings?
Generally, -ABLE attaches to complete English words (BREAK + ABLE = BREAKABLE) while -IBLE attaches to Latin roots (AUD + IBLE = AUDIBLE). There are exceptions, but this rule covers most cases. Both are valid LE endings in word games. For more suffix patterns, see words ending in L where -FUL and -AL operate similarly.
What are the highest-scoring LE words in Scrabble?
QUIZZABLE would be enormous if valid, but more realistic high-scorers include EQUABLE (18 points), EXCITABLE, and FLEXIBLE. Any LE word using Q, Z, X, or J tiles gets a boost. See words ending in J for pairing strategies with premium tiles, and words ending in Z for Z placement options.
