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

Every answer has the same final pattern: _ _ _ _ A H. None ranks among the 25,000 most common English words, so this is a narrow clue rather than an everyday vocabulary list. HURRAH and HUZZAH are recognizable starting points; several other entries come from names for cultural practices, objects, or currencies.

At a glance: the A-H ending

• All 82 matches put A in the fifth slot and H at the end.
• HURRAH, HOOKAH, PARIAH, and MULLAH are examples you may recognize.
• HUZZAH leads the scoring list at 30 points.
• The average score across these entries is 14.2 points.

How many 6-letter words have A fifth and H sixth?

There are 82 tournament-dictionary matches for this exact pattern. The final H is fixed, leaving four opening letters to narrow down; H is the most frequent first letter, with 12 matches, followed by P with 9.

The distribution is unusually small beside nearby patterns: C in the fifth slot before final H has 141 matches, while S in that slot has 139. Changing only the fifth letter therefore gives you a much larger pool than keeping A.

Dictionary coverage overlaps rather than adding up to the total: 52 entries appear in ENABLE, 79 in Collins, and 62 in NWL2023. A word missing from your game’s chosen list may still appear in another tournament dictionary.

Which A-H words score the most?

HUZZAH is the standout scorer at 30 points, well ahead of HAJJAH at 26 and HAMZAH at 23. MATZAH and JIBBAH each score 20, while HIJRAH reaches 19.

The familiar-looking choices are not always the strongest scoring plays. HURRAH and HOOKAH are easy to spot, but the top of the score list favors less common spellings with valuable letters. Check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
