2-letter words ending in H

This is a compact set of familiar interjections and letter combinations, with six entries accepted by at least one tournament dictionary. The split is unusually even across starting letters: A, C, E, O, S, and U each contribute one word. For a quick play, focus on whether CH is accepted in your game; it is the standout scorer.

The six H-ending pairs at a glance

• Six two-letter entries end in H: AH, CH, EH, OH, SH, and UH.
• Each word starts with a different letter; none of the six share an initial.
• CH leads the scoring list at 7 points.
• AH, EH, OH, SH, and UH each score 5 points.
• Collins includes all six; ENABLE and NWL2023 include five each.

Which H-ending pair scores the most?

CH is the clear scoring outlier at 7 points, two more than each of the other five entries. AH, EH, OH, SH, and UH are tied at 5, so the choice between them usually comes down to board position and which tiles you need to shed.

Dictionary coverage matters more than the small score gap. Collins accepts all six, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each list five. If your game uses one of the latter dictionaries, check CH before building a play around it; the other five are shared across all three.

How should you use 2-letter words ending in H?

Treat these pairs as board-fitting tools, not as a reason to force an H play. Every entry has the same final letter, but the six different opening letters give you several ways to connect a word to an existing tile. OH and AH are easy to recognize; CH and SH are less obvious when you are scanning a rack quickly.

All six are counted among the common entries, and five have definitions recorded. That familiarity makes them easier to recall than many short tournament words, but it does not erase the dictionary split. Check your game's word list once before relying on CH in a competitive turn.
