This exact pattern produces a short, unusual set: none of its 11 words ranks among the common entries, and only 8 have definitions. WHIZZY is the standout for scoring, while GHazal, CHAZAN, and SHAZAM show how varied the opening letters can be. Dictionary coverage also matters: Collins lists all 11, but NWL2023 and ENABLE include fewer.

Key facts for the H-second, Z-fourth list

  • The pattern has 11 tournament-dictionary matches, and none is classed as common.
  • WHIZZY leads the Scrabble scores at 33 points; KHAZIS and KHAZEN each score 22.
  • G begins 3 matches; K and P begin 2 each.
  • S is the most frequent final letter, appearing in 3 words.
  • Collins keeps all 11; NWL2023 keeps 7 and ENABLE keeps 4.
  • The average score across the 11 matches is 21.4 points.

What kinds of words fit this unusual pattern?

The matches include SHAZAM, GHAZAL, and CHAZAN, alongside less familiar entries such as PHIZOG, RHIZIC, and KHAZIS. That mix makes a guessed everyday word unlikely: none of the 11 reaches the common-word cutoff, even though 8 have definitions.

GHAZEL and GHAZIS give G three opening words, while KHAZEN and KHAZIS make K one of two openings shared by a pair. At the other end, three matches finish in S; L and N each finish two. Use those endings to narrow a clue after fixing H and Z.

Which matches score highest, and what should you check?

WHIZZY scores 33 in Scrabble, well ahead of KHAZIS and KHAZEN at 22 and PHIZOG at 21. The double Z makes WHIZZY the clear scoring outlier; SHAZAM, CHAZAN, PHIZES, and RHIZIC each score 20.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins includes all 11 matches, compared with 7 in NWL2023 and 4 in ENABLE. A word accepted in one game may be absent from another, so check the word list used in your game before relying on a specialist entry.
