5-letter words with T as the 1st letter and H as the 2nd letter

That opening TH narrows the choices, but the list mixes everyday words with less familiar plays. THEIR, THERE, THINK, THESE, and THOSE are recognizable options; just 22 of the 81 entries rank among common English words. The pattern also has 24 matching Wordle answers, so it is more than a narrow tournament-word clue.

Quick facts about this TH pattern

Which TH words fit Wordle?

This pattern matches 24 Wordle answers and 80 allowed guesses. The larger guess pool gives you more options for testing letters, but an allowed guess is not necessarily an answer.

Start with familiar candidates such as THERE, THEIR, THINK, THESE, and THOSE when their letters fit your clues. The 22 common words are a better first pass than the full tournament list, which includes many uncommon entries.

How do 5-letter words with T first and H second score?

THYMY leads the scoring examples at 16 points, followed by THUJA at 15. THICK, THACK, THAWY, and THEWY each score 14, while familiar THINK scores 12.

The average score is 10, so the top plays stand well above the middle. The trade-off is familiarity: THYMY and THUJA are much less everyday than THINK or THICK.

Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins includes 79 matches, NWL2023 includes 60, and ENABLE includes 56. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry.
