6-letter words with K as the 3rd letter and H as the 5th letter

The fixed pattern is __K_H_: K sits in the third slot and H in the fifth. The matches range from DUKKHA and MOKSHA to plural forms such as BEKAHS and BOKEHS. None ranks among the 25,000 most common English words, so this is a narrow word-game clue rather than an everyday vocabulary pattern.

At a glance for the K-third, H-fifth pattern

• The pattern __K_H_ matches 12 six-letter words.
• DUKKHA leads the scores at 18 points.
• MOKSHA, PAKEHA, and BEKAHS each score 15.
• Four matches end in I, four in S, and three in A.
• Nine entries have definitions; none is common by the frequency cutoff.

Which words fit K third and H fifth?

DUKKHA is the standout scorer, while MOKSHA and PAKEHA are close behind. The pattern also catches forms that are easy to overlook: BEKAHS and BOKEHS end in S, while TAKAH E's matching spelling, TAKAHE, ends in E. Check each letter position rather than relying on a familiar-looking start or ending.

The final letters offer a sorting clue: I and S tie as the most frequent endings, with four matches apiece; A appears three times. First letters are more spread out.

B and P each begin three words, while M begins two. Those clusters narrow a search without changing the fixed K-and-H slots.

Where does this pattern fit in a word game?

Collins includes 10 of these entries, compared with five in NWL2023 and two in ENABLE; those dictionary totals overlap, so they do not add up to 12. Its zero common-word count is another limitation: names such as MOKSHA and PAKIHI are more likely to appear in a word list than casual conversation.

For a rack or crossword-style clue, lock in the third and fifth letters first, then test the remaining positions against your game's dictionary. DUKKHA is the scoring target, but its 18-point total depends on the standard letter values and a clear board.
