5-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and H as the 4th letter

The fixed middle pair creates a list with a strong plural tilt: 23 words end in S, while 16 end in E. L and M are the most common starting letters, with nine words each. Only six entries count as common by the frequency measure, so expect a mix of familiar spellings and specialist vocabulary.

Which endings and starting letters stand out?

LATHE and LITHE show the L-starting group; MATHS and MYTHS show the M group. Together, those two initials account for 18 of the 54 matches. The nearest same-pattern alternative is C in the third position, with 60 words; S has 36.

Scores, word lists, and a useful limitation

MYTHY tops the tile scores at 16, followed by KYTHE at 15. HYTHE and WITHY each score 14, while MYTHS, PITHY, BOTHY, and MOTHY each reach 13. The average score across this group is 10.1.

For 5-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and H as the 4th letter, the high-scoring choices are not necessarily the easiest to play: only six entries are common. Dictionary totals also overlap rather than add up, and Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE do not accept identical sets. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
