Only eleven words carry L second and Y third, and in several of them the Y is doing all the vowel work.
FLYBY, GLYPH and SLYLY contain no A, E, I, O or U. The Y carries the whole word, which is rare enough at this length to be worth remembering.
That makes them awkward to reach by ordinary guessing. If every standard vowel is ruled out, this is one of the few patterns still standing.
BLYPE, CLYPE, FLYPE and SLYPE all close the same way and differ only in the first box. A blype is a shred of peeling skin, to clype is to tell tales, to flype is to turn something inside out, and a slype is a cathedral passage.
F opens four of the eleven and S opens three. P takes the fourth box in five, almost all of that the YPE cluster.
E closes five of the eleven and R closes three. The YPE and YER words cover most of the group.
FLYER is the ordinary word and tests the E and R. GLYPH is worth trying only if you suspect the answer has no standard vowel.
A carved symbol or character, used of ancient inscriptions and of typography. It is the most useful uncommon word on this page.
They are two spellings of the same word. Only FLYER puts the Y in the third box, so only FLYER fits here.
To tell tales on someone, in Scots. The teller is also a clype.
It uses L twice and Y twice, but never side by side. Zero of the eleven carry a true doubled letter.
