The pattern fixes two central tiles, leaving the first, second, fifth, and sixth letters open. That still yields just 12 tournament-dictionary entries. OCHRES and OCHRED look familiar beside rarer choices, while the spread from ash- to sch- shows how unusual the set becomes; eleven entries have definitions.

At a glance: the 12 matching words

  • All 12 matches have six letters, with H in position three and R in position four.
  • Collins accepts all 12; ENABLE and NWL2023 each accept nine.
  • Four entries begin with O; three begin with A, and two begin with S.
  • B and D are the most frequent endings, with two words in each group.
  • SCHRIK leads the score ranking at 15, ahead of OCHREY at 14.

6-letter words with H as the 3rd letter and R as the 4th letter

The pattern has the fixed shape __HR__. The opening pair does much of the sorting: OCHRES, OCHRED, OCHREA, and OCHREY account for all four O-starting entries. The remaining starts are A, S, F, M, and U.

O is the strongest first-letter clue, but its words do not share one ending. The O group ends in S, D, A, or Y. The A group includes ASHRAF, ASHRAM, and ATHROB; SCHRIK and SCHROD are the two S-starting choices.

This H-third pattern is especially selective with R fourth: H-A has 54 matches, H-O has 48, and H-E has 47, compared with just 12 here.

Which matches stand out for scoring?

For 6-letter words with H as the 3rd letter and R as the 4th letter, SCHRIK is the standout scorer at 15 points. OCHREY follows at 14, then MIHRAB at 13. Those top three start with different letters, so the first tile can narrow a score search quickly.

Two words end in B and two in D; each of the other six endings appears once. When you know the last tile, keep B and D in play before testing the single-occurrence endings.

This is not an everyday vocabulary set: zero entries meet our common-word cutoff, though 11 of 12 have definitions. The constraint gives you a short candidate set, but many choices are specialized. Check your game's word list before committing.
