5-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and H as the 4th letter

The pattern is _A_H_: A sits in slot two, H in slot four, and any letter can fill the other spots. The endings are especially lopsided: 17 words finish in S, while 11 finish in E. Only 8 entries rank among common English words, so expect plenty of less familiar options alongside everyday picks like BATHS and CACHE.

5-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and H as the 4th letter

• There are 53 tournament-dictionary matches for the _A_H_ pattern.
• PATHS, YACHT, MATHS, BATHS, and CACHE are recognizable examples.
• S is the most frequent final letter, appearing on 17 matches; E is next with 11.
• The four top scorers WASHY, KACHA, HASHY, and KAPHS each score 14.
• Wordle has 5 matching answers and 52 matching allowed guesses.

Which endings appear most often?

S and E account for 28 of the 53 words together: PATHS, MATHS, BATHS, and OATHS show the S ending, while CACHE, BATHE, and LATHE end in E. That makes the final letter a strong narrowing clue after you have placed A and H.

The remaining endings are less crowded. Eight words end in A, five each end in I or Y, and four end in O. The final M and T occur just once apiece, so a confirmed ending in either letter sharply narrows this pattern.

How do these words score, and which fit Wordle?

WASHY, KACHA, HASHY, and KAPHS lead the scoring list at 14 points each; YACHT and MASHY score 13. CACHE, MACHO, LAKHS, and MACHI each score 12. Those totals make the less familiar entries worth checking when a board gives you a premium square.

The 5-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and H as the 4th letter include 5 Wordle answers, against 52 allowed guesses. The gap matters: an allowed guess can test letters without being a possible solution. Eight entries are common, so the pattern alone does not promise an everyday answer; check your game's word list before playing an obscure option.
