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

That fixed ending gives you a compact list, but the words vary sharply in familiarity and game value. ENOUGH and THOUGH are recognizable choices; QUAIGH leads the scoring list at 19 points. Collins includes all 29 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 18, so your game's dictionary matters.

The G-H pattern at a glance

• All 29 matches place G fifth and H sixth, so every word ends in GH.
• Collins lists 29; ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 18.
• Only 3 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• QUAIGH scores 19 points, ahead of WHEUGH at 16 and CHOUGH at 15.

Which words fit the G-H ending?

Exactly 29 six-letter words match these positions. ENOUGH, THOUGH, TROUGH, PLOUGH, and SLOUGH show familiar-looking forms, while SLEIGH gives another recognizable spelling with the same final letters.

The starting letters are unevenly distributed: S begins 7 matches, C begins 5, and A begins 4. That makes S the strongest first-letter group, but those counts describe only the words beginning with each letter, not their relative ease in a game.

The high scores lean toward less familiar entries. QUAIGH is the top scorer at 19 points; WHEUGH follows at 16, then CHOUGH at 15. By contrast, THOUGH scores 13.

The unusual spellings can be valuable, but recognition alone does not establish that a word is accepted in your game.

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

Treat the final GH as a fixed pair, then test the first four spaces against your crossing letters. ENOUGH and THOUGH share the same last four letters, while TROUGH and PLOUGH also keep the G-H ending but change the middle pattern. Those examples make the final pair a useful filter, not a guarantee of a particular word.

For a practical shortlist, start with the recognizable matches, then check less common spellings such as CHOUGH or QUAIGH against your game's word list. Collins has 11 more matches than either ENABLE or NWL2023, so a Collins-only entry may not be playable in a game using one of those narrower lists.
