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

The pattern leaves three open tiles before the fixed A-H ending, but the resulting words are mostly uncommon: only one ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Among the recognizable examples are TORAH, RAJAH, SURAH, and SYRAH. The full group spans several dictionary lists, so a word accepted in one game may not appear in another.

At a glance: the A-H ending

• Exactly 33 five-letter tournament words have A in position four and H in position five.
• S is the most common starting letter in this group, with seven words.
• PUJAH leads the score list at 17 points; RAJAH follows at 15.
• Only one entry is both a Wordle answer and listed in a tournament dictionary.

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

The 33-word total is smaller than nearby patterns: 61 words put S in the fourth position before final H, while 132 put C there. Keeping A fixed makes the final H a strong filter, so the remaining first three letters do most of the work when you scan possible matches.

Seven entries start with S, including SURAH, SYRAH, and SELAH. B, D, and O each begin three words; A, G, L, and M each begin two. That uneven spread gives you a practical solving cue: test S first when the opening tile is unknown, but do not assume the rest of the group is equally familiar.

Which A-H words score highest?

PUJAH scores 17 points, ahead of RAJAH at 15 and BEKAH at 14. MYNAH and EPHAH each reach 13, while UMMAH, DAWAH, NIKAH, BIMAH, and SOKAH each score 12. The group averages 10.6 points, so the top score is a standout rather than a typical result.

For a board game, check that your dictionary includes the word before committing: the 33 entries are not shared evenly across Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE. Collins includes 31, compared with 18 in NWL2023 and 16 in ENABLE. Most are not everyday vocabulary, which makes this pattern better for checking a known fit than for guessing a familiar word.
