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

The pattern is _R__H: R must sit in the second slot, and H closes every match. That leaves 28 tournament-dictionary words, with familiar choices such as CRASH, TRASH, BRUSH, and CRUSH beside less common entries. B starts the largest group, while CRWTH stands out for its score.

5-letter words with R second and H fifth at a glance

• Eight begin with B, the largest first-letter group; F contributes five and C contributes four.

• CRWTH leads the listed tile scores at 13; BRACH and BROCH follow at 12.

Which words are common or Wordle answers?

Nine of the 28 matches are common words, so the pattern mixes everyday guesses with obscure options. TRUTH, FRESH, and CRASH are easy to recognize; FRITH, GRITH, and BRUGH are less familiar. Start with a known word when solving a clue, rather than treating every dictionary entry as equally likely.

Eleven matches appear in the Wordle answer list and dictionary set, while all 28 are counted as allowed guesses. The answer-list overlap is smaller than the guess pool, so a valid pattern match is not automatically a likely solution. For a practical opener, FRESH or CRASH tests common letters without leaning on an obscure entry.

Which R-second, H-ending words score highest?

CRWTH tops the score list at 13 points, ahead of BRACH and BROCH at 12. FRESH, GRAPH, WRATH, FROTH, FRITH, FROSH, and WROTH each score 11. The unusual leader is a reminder that a high tile total does not make a word a strong everyday guess.

The dictionary totals differ: Collins includes 28 matches, NWL2023 has 22, and ENABLE has 20. A word accepted in one game may not transfer to another, so check the word list your game uses before relying on a rare entry.

For board play, keep CRWTH in mind when a premium square can boost its unusual letters; for a quick pattern solve, familiar words such as TRUTH and BRUSH are safer candidates. The list is narrow by design: every option must fit both fixed letter positions.
