How many 6-letter words have K first and H sixth?

There are 20 matches for this exact six-letter pattern. The ending matters: among six-letter K words, 180 finish in S, while only 20 finish in H. If H is fixed at the end, S leads the starting-letter alternatives with 93 matches; K has 20.

The dictionary totals differ because each game uses its own accepted word set. Collins covers 18 of these words, compared with 16 in NWL2023 and 14 in ENABLE. Check the word list for your game before committing to an unfamiliar entry.

Which K-first, H-sixth words score highest?

“Kvetch” and “kybosh” each score 18 points, ahead of “kippah,” “kibbeh,” and “khedah” at 17. “Kitsch,” “kirsch,” “kasbah,” “kibosh,” and “klatch” each score 15, making the top end unusually crowded.

The set averages 15.3 points, but that does not make every entry familiar or playable in every dictionary. Zero matches are classed as common, and 18 have definitions in the source lexicon. For a board score, consider letter premiums and word multipliers; the listed base score alone does not account for square placement.
