Is this normal for people who have dyslexia to struggle with word recall?

I’m wondering if this is part of my dyslexia or some thing else? I struggle with word recall. Say some one say to me list some words starting with letter A or the letter L so on. I have to look it up on google. Where when people say list some words starting with the letter A, I should say Ant, apple, alligator, ape , ace so on and letter beginning with letter L, Lamp, long, Lion, Lizard, ladder, label so on. Or the letter B like boat, book, box, bike so on... Why I’m I struggling with word recall is this part of dyslexia or some thing else? I have no problem putting my thoughts down when writhing or talking but playing word recall games I struggle to do word recall. Do other members here struggle with word recall? Or does this sound part of the dyslexia or some thing else?

Do others here struggle with word recall and scrabble games? Is this typical of dyslexia or does it sound like some thing else?
