The pattern is _ _ _ A _ H, so both fixed letters narrow the search at once. S begins the most matches, while B is the next-leading first letter. The group mixes everyday words such as BREATH and ATTACH with less familiar entries; dictionary coverage also changes by game, so a word’s presence here does not guarantee acceptance everywhere.

How many words match A fourth and H last?

  • The fixed pattern is _ _ _ A _ H: all 48 matches place A fourth and H sixth.
  • BREATH, BREACH, SPLASH, ATTACH, and PREACH are familiar examples.
  • S leads the first-letter counts with 9 words; B follows with 7, while C and E have 5 each.
  • QUEACH scores 20 Scrabble points, the highest score; SQUASH follows at 18.
  • Only 10 matches count as common words.

Which starting letters appear most often?

S supplies 9 matches, more than any other opening letter. B has 7, C and E have 5 each, and A and P have 4 apiece. That makes S and B good places to start when you have the fixed A and H but still need to test the first tile.

The 48-word total includes entries from multiple tournament lists, but their coverage differs: Collins has 47, NWL2023 has 30, and ENABLE has 26. Those counts overlap rather than add up to a separate total. Less familiar entries such as CREAGH and SNEATH are a reminder to check your game's word list before relying on an obscure match.

6-letter words with A as the 4th letter and H as the 6th letter

QUEACH is the top Scrabble scorer at 20 points, with SQUASH next at 18. BYPATH scores 16, while AMBACH scores 15. For a more familiar option, BREACH, PREACH, BLEACH, BROACH, and EMPATH each score 13, so the pattern offers both high-value and more recognizable choices.

The average score is 12.1, but the top of the list is pulled upward by words with Q or other less common tiles. That makes QUEACH a strong raw-score answer, not necessarily the easiest word to remember or play. For a more familiar entry, SQUASH also reaches a high score without the same obscure spelling.
