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

A six-letter pattern ending in R narrows the search: every match places H in the third slot, and none is counted as common. MOHAIR and REHEAR may look familiar, while MAHZOR and SPHAER are less so. Treat these entries as clue candidates rather than a set of everyday vocabulary.

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

• Exactly 16 tournament-dictionary entries have H in position three and R in position six.
• All 16 end in R; four begin with A, while three begin with M.
• Collins includes 15 matches, NWL2023 includes 13, and ENABLE includes 12; those dictionary sets overlap.
• MAHZOR leads the listed Scrabble scores at 20 points; MOHAIR, CAHIER, and COHEIR each score 11.
• The average score across the pattern is 10.9.

Which starting letters appear most?

A begins the largest group, with ASHLAR, ASHIER, ACHIER, and ASHLER. M contributes three: MOHAIR, MAHSIR, and MAHZOR. C and S each account for two matches, including CAHIER and COHEIR, then SPHAER and SPHEAR.

The uncommon entries make this pattern less predictable than its familiar examples suggest. UNHAIR and DEHAIR also fit, but the full set has zero words in our common-word category. If your clue leaves the first letter open, test the A and M options before reaching for a rarer opening.

How should you use the scoring gap?

MAHZOR stands apart at 20 Scrabble points, while the next named group here scores 11. That difference makes MAHZOR the standout when your goal is raw letter value; the 10.9 average shows that its score is not typical of the group.

For a puzzle clue, lock H into slot three and R into the final slot, then compare candidates such as MOHAIR, ASHLAR, and REHEAR against the crossing letters. Dictionary coverage varies across Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE, so check your game's word list once before playing an unfamiliar entry.
