6-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and H as the 6th letter

The pattern fixes C in position two and H at the end, but leaves the opening and middle open. Of 13 matches, 12 start with S; ACANTH is the sole A-starter. Just one ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so familiar SCOTCH and SCORCH sit beside rarer forms such as SCOWTH and SCAITH.

At a glance: the C-and-H pattern

• The tournament-dictionary count is 13, and every match ends in H.
• Twelve begin with S; ACANTH is the only entry beginning with A.
• Collins includes all 13, while NWL2023 includes 7 and ENABLE includes 5.
• Only one match is common by the top-25,000 word-frequency cutoff.
• SCOWTH leads the score ranking at 14; SCOTCH, SCORCH, and SCOOCH each score 13.

Which words fit the C-second, H-last clue?

SCOTCH and SCORCH provide familiar anchors: both follow S-C and close with CH. SCOOCH repeats O before that final pair. Once C is confirmed second and H last, test the S-starting cluster first; it accounts for 12 of the 13 matches and narrows the search quickly.

ACANTH breaks the strong S pattern as the only A-starter. The gap between 13 tournament entries and one common word is the main caution: a valid tournament entry may still be unfamiliar. Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE have different coverage, so check your game's word list before playing a less familiar form such as SCAITH.

Score choices for 6-letter words with C second and H last

The average score is 12.3, and SCOWTH leads at 14. SCOTCH, SCORCH, SCOOCH, SCATCH, SCUTCH, SCARPH, and SCULCH each score 13. That close cluster makes dictionary acceptance a better first check than chasing the top score; confirm the word is playable, then compare available board squares.
