6-letter words with A as the 3rd letter and H as the 5th letter

The fixed frame _ _ A H _ _ pulls in two very different families: -Y adjectives such as PEACHY, BEACHY, FLASHY and TRASHY, and -S plurals such as DEATHS, GRAPHS, SWATHS and HEATHS. Six matches count as common words, and the average of 12.8 points is the highest of any A-third pattern with 40 or more matches.

Two word families inside one pattern

• 45 matches, with 17 closing in -Y and 14 in -S.
• Six rank as common words; the set averages 12.8 points.
• KWACHA and KHAPHS share the top score of 18.
• S opens 11 matches, more than twice the 5 starting with B.
• Twelve matches appear in Collins alone, among them LOATHY, SWASHY and URACHI.

Which endings fit 6-letter words with A third and H fifth?

Y closes 17 matches and S closes 14, so two endings cover 31 of the 45. The -Y group is mostly adjectives: PEACHY, BEACHY, POACHY and COACHY lean on the same -CHY shape, and FLASHY and TRASHY on -SHY.

The -S group runs the other way, as plurals stacked on four-letter bases: DEATHS, GRAPHS, SWATHS and HEATHS all follow that route. Nine matches end in E, giving forms such as SWATHE, SCATHE and SPATHE, so E is the third ending worth testing.

Where do the 45 matches score?

KWACHA and KHAPHS tie at 18, and both get there on a K worth 5 points. Four adjectives follow at 16: PEACHY, BEACHY, POACHY and COACHY, where C and H do the heavy lifting.

FLASHY, HEATHY, WRATHY and SWATHY share 15. The average sits at 12.8, the best of any A-third pattern holding 40 or more matches, and H contributes 4 points to almost every word here.

Collins carries all 45 while ENABLE and NWL2023 each keep 33, so confirm a -THY form against your game's word list before committing it.

Shorter matches are just as productive
