Only 2 of the 24 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency: HEALTH and WEALTH. The rest skew toward less familiar spellings, from MULLAH and MOOLAH to ZILLAH and SPILTH. This fixed pattern is unusually narrow: the fourth letter is L, and every match ends in H.

6-letter words with L as the 4th letter and H as the 6th letter

  • Collins includes all 24 matches; NWL2023 includes 17, and ENABLE includes 16.
  • HEALTH and WEALTH are the only 2 entries in the common-word frequency group.
  • QUELCH leads the Scrabble scoring list at 20 points.
  • ZILLAH scores 18; KIBLAH and KEBLAH each score 15.
  • S starts 4 matches; C, K, and M each start 3.

Why do familiar examples stand out?

HEALTH and WEALTH are the easiest matches to recognize. Both put L fourth and H last, but just 2 words in the group meet the common-word cutoff. MULLAH and MOOLAH may also look familiar, while names such as ZILLAH and SPILTH are less likely to come to mind.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins has all 24 words, compared with 17 in NWL2023 and 16 in ENABLE. A word can fit every square and still be absent from your game's list, so check the relevant dictionary before playing.

Which pattern words score most in Scrabble?

QUELCH is the scoring standout at 20 points, followed by ZILLAH at 18 and KIBLAH and KEBLAH at 15 each. HEALTH scores 12, so the familiar word is not the premium play in this group. The average score across the pattern is 12.5.

Treat the final H as an anchor, then test the opening letters and middle pair against your rack. S supplies 4 matches, while C, K, and M supply 3 each. A common-looking start does not guarantee a familiar word: MULLAH and MOOLAH sit among much less familiar entries.

Questions people ask

Are HEALTH and WEALTH the only common words in this pattern?
Yes. HEALTH and WEALTH are the only 2 matches in the common-word frequency group. The full set contains 24 words, so most entries are less familiar; MULLAH and MOOLAH are other examples players may recognize.

QUELCH leads the Scrabble scoring list at 20 points. ZILLAH follows at 18, while KIBLAH and KEBLAH each score 15. HEALTH is more familiar but scores 12 in this group.
Do all 24 words appear in NWL2023?
