Words beginning with LAN

A prefix search asks a stricter question than a letter search: the letters have to appear together, in this order, at the very start of the word. That is what you want for a crossword with the first squares filled in, for an acrostic, or for a game where you have to follow on from somebody else's opening.

When the list is short

Some letter combinations simply do not start many English words. If a prefix returns only a handful, that is the answer rather than a fault — and dropping the last letter usually opens the list up considerably.

Why do short words come first?
