5-letter words with C as the 1st letter and H as the 5th letter

The C----H pattern has a tight mix of familiar words and unusual tournament entries. COACH, CATCH, CRASH, COUCH, and CRUSH are easy to spot; less familiar options include CWTCH and CRWTH. Only 8 of the 23 entries rank among common English words, so the pattern narrows the search without guaranteeing an everyday answer.

The C-to-H pattern at a glance

• Exactly 23 tournament-dictionary words fit C----H; Collins lists all 23, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 19.
• Eight entries are common English words, including COACH, CATCH, CRASH, and COUCH.
• CHICH and CWTCH lead the Scrabble scores at 15 points apiece before board bonuses.
• The group is smaller than S----H, with 47 matches, and B----H, with 36.

How many C-and-H words match Wordle?

Ten of the 23 words match the Wordle answer list, and all 23 are allowed guesses. COACH, CATCH, CRASH, and COUCH are recognizable candidates, but the answer-match count does not mean any one word is a current solution.

The final H makes this a narrow clue: 5-letter words beginning with C and ending in S number 252, while those ending in E number 114. This pattern has fewer matches than either of those groups, so use the fixed ending to cut down possibilities rather than treating C as a broad starting-letter hint.

Which C----H words score highest?

CHICH and CWTCH score 15 Scrabble points each, ahead of CHETH and CRWTH at 13. Familiar COACH, CATCH, COUCH, CONCH, and CINCH each score 12, compared with an average of 11.6 across the group. The unusual spellings lead the raw scores, not the everyday choices.

Only 8 entries are common, so start with a familiar candidate before spending a guess on an obscure one. CWTCH and CRWTH are especially poor assumptions for casual play: knowing the spelling does not ensure your game's dictionary accepts it.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins lists 23 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 19. This pattern is not equally broad across word lists, so check your game's word list before playing a less familiar entry.
