Recognizable spellings include RAKISH, SUKKAH, MIKVAH, and DUKKAH. Counts overlap across Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE, so dictionary totals are not additive.

Are 6-letter words with K 3rd and H 6th common?
No: only 11 words match, and none meets the frequency cutoff for common words. For comparison, 108 words put K third and S last, so changing the final letter to H sharply narrows the search.
RAKISH is the clearest familiar anchor, while MIKVAH and SUKKAH show repeated K in less familiar entries. The fixed final H makes cross-checking quick. That fixed ending is the strongest shortcut for this clue.
