How to narrow this list

A word must include I and L, but this clue does not settle their positions. A word with only one of these letters is excluded. Repeated copies are allowed, so compare the duplicate-letter examples below if your feedback sets a limit. For a contiguous pair in a specific order, use a sequence filter instead.

2 answers repeat a letter

FILL and HILL each use a duplicate. Words without a repeated letter include BOIL, CLIP, and FLIP.

A gray copy of a letter does not always exclude every copy. If another copy is green or yellow, check the minimum and maximum number the feedback allows.
