Extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) are typically characterized by high equivalent widths (EWs) which are driven by elevated specific star formation rates (sSFR) in low-mass galaxies with subsolar metallicities and little dust. Such extreme systems are rare in the local universe, but the number density of EELGs increases with redshift. Such starburst galaxies are currently presumed to be the main drivers of hydrogen reionization over 5.5<z<15, which serves to motivate many of the searches for high-z EELGs. We aim to characterize the physical properties of a sample of ~730 EELGs at 410M_{sun}_/yr/kpc^2^ which indicate they are strong candidates of LyC leakers. Another indirect indicator is the high values of O32>5 that can be reached for some galaxies in the sample.
