Highest-scoring words
The final TH is only half the clue: T must occupy slot four, which leaves 79 tournament-dictionary matches. S supplies the largest opening-letter group at 13, ahead of F at 10. Among familiar entries are DEATH, MONTH and WORTH; 36 matches also occur in the Wordle answer set.
The TH pattern at a glance
- Exactly 79 tournament-dictionary words match T in slot four and H in slot five.
- Collins includes 78; NWL2023 includes 63; ENABLE includes 61.
- Thirty-six matches are Wordle answers, and all 79 are allowed guesses.
- Thirty-two entries land in the common-word group.
- DEATH, SOUTH and NORTH are familiar examples; QUOTH and AZOTH lead scoring at 17.
Are any of these words Wordle answers?
Yes: 36 of the 79 matching words are Wordle answers. All 79 are also allowed guesses, so the pattern is broader than the answer subset. A solver can treat the known TH ending as fixed, then use the first three slots to separate candidates.
Common-word coverage is 32, including DEATH, SOUTH, EARTH, TRUTH, MOUTH and FAITH among recognizable choices. When the final two slots are confirmed, keep T immediately before H: SOUTH and NORTH fit the same ending, but their first letters split the candidates.
For a board game, don't mistake an ending clue for a complete filter: MONTH, WIDTH and SIXTH share the final pair, but each tests a different first-three-letter arrangement. Lock the fixed positions before weighing less familiar spellings.
5-letter words with T as the 4th letter and H as the 5th letter
QUOTH and AZOTH score 17 apiece, SIXTH and KHETH score 15, and FIFTH reaches 14. The leaders are much less familiar than DEATH or EARTH, so raw tile value and likely game usefulness point in different directions.
S supplies 13 opening-letter matches, ahead of F at 10; B and T each contribute 7. The neighboring pattern with T fourth and S fifth has 385 matches, versus 79 for H.
Coverage varies across tournament dictionaries: Collins counts 78, NWL2023 has 63, and ENABLE has 61. Check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar entry such as QUOTH; its 17-point raw score does not guarantee acceptance in every app.
