The pattern is _H___S: H is fixed in the second slot, and S closes every word. Familiar matches include thanks, things, phones, and chairs, but everyday vocabulary is only part of the set. The available tournament dictionaries differ in coverage, and the highest Scrabble scores come from much less familiar entries.

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

  • All 357 matches put H second and S last.
  • Thanks, things, photos, and chairs are recognizable examples.
  • Collins accepts 348 matches; NWL2023 accepts 283; ENABLE accepts 257.
  • Only 62 matches count as common in the frequency measure.

How many words match both positions?

Exactly 357 words fit both fixed slots. The first letter varies: C leads with 102 matches, followed by S with 92, T with 59, and W with 39. Checks, chairs, and cheers show the C group; thanks and things make the T group easy to recognize.

The 62 common entries are a small slice of the full set, while 314 entries have definitions. Those are different measures: a word can appear in a tournament dictionary without being common in everyday English. Expect familiar choices such as phones and wheels alongside less familiar forms.

Which matching words score the most?

Khazis tops the score list at 22 points; phizes and khojas each score 20. Whacks scores 18 and is easier to recognize, though it trails the leaders. Rare high-value letters drive these totals, so the top-scoring answer is not necessarily the word you would spot first in a clue.

For a practical search, start with the opening letter rather than scanning the endings: every match already ends in S. C, S, and T account for the largest first-letter groups, with 102, 92, and 59 matches respectively. Check your game's word list once, since Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE do not accept identical sets.

Questions people ask

What are some common six-letter words with H second and S last?
Thanks, things, photos, phones, and chairs are familiar matches. Each has H in the second position and S at the end, fitting the _H___S pattern. The full set has 357 entries, but only 62 meet the frequency measure for common words.
Which first letter appears most often in this pattern?
C is the most frequent first letter, with 102 matches. S follows with 92, then T with 59 and W with 39. Examples from the leading C group include checks, chairs, and cheers.
Are all 357 words accepted in every Scrabble dictionary?
No. Collins includes 348 matches, NWL2023 includes 283, and ENABLE includes 257. A word accepted in one list may not be accepted in another, so check the dictionary used by your game before playing an unfamiliar entry.
