6-letter words with H as the 2nd letter and K as the 4th letter

The pattern fixes two positions but leaves four letters open, producing a mix of recognizable words and specialist vocabulary. SHAKEN, CHOKED, and KHAKIS are easy to spot; BHIKHU and SHIKAR are less familiar. Only five entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff, so expect many candidates to feel unusual even when they fit perfectly.

At a glance: starts, endings, and a top scorer

• All 28 matches have H second and K fourth, with no other position fixed.
• C starts 13 words and S starts 10; B begins another three.
• Just five entries qualify as common by our frequency measure.
• Final S appears seven times; A and R each finish six words.
• CHUKKA leads the tile scores at 19 points, ahead of two words at 18.

6-letter words with H as the 2nd letter and K as the 4th letter

The starting-letter split is unusually tight after C: S trails by only three words, while B accounts for three more. Try C and S first when those positions are unknown; a starting K or D is possible, but each occurs just once.

The endings give you another way to sort candidates. S is the leading final letter, while A and R tie behind it. Examples include CHOKES, CHAKRA, and SHAKER.

If your last tile is fixed, use that clue before testing rarer starts.

Which entries score well, and will every game accept them?

CHUKKA is the top scorer at 19 points; CHOKEY and BHIKHU follow at 18 each. KHAKIS scores 17, while CHOKED reaches 16. These are tile scores, so board bonuses can change the points you actually earn.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: ENABLE includes 18 matches, Collins has 26, and NWL2023 has 20. The totals overlap rather than adding up to 28. Some entries therefore depend on the word list your game uses, and many candidates are uncommon; check your game's dictionary before playing an unfamiliar word.
