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

The pattern is _ _ M _ _ H: M is fixed in slot three, and H closes every entry. All 19 words qualify in Collins, while 15 appear in NWL2023 and 13 in ENABLE. None ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect a puzzle list weighted toward unusual vocabulary rather than everyday guesses.

At a glance: a narrow M–H pattern

• Every match ends in H; no other final letter appears.
• COMETH and TEMPEH are familiar-looking options among the entries.
• HAMZAH leads the Scrabble scores at 23 points.
• Only 13 of the 19 words appear in ENABLE, compared with all 19 in Collins.

Which of these words scores highest?

HAMZAH is the standout at 23 Scrabble points, ahead of SAMEKH at 15 and FAMISH at 14. COMETH, TEMPEH, OOMPAH, and SUMACH each score 13, so the top score is clearly separated from the next entry.

That ranking separates rack value from familiarity. COMETH and FAMISH may look more recognizable, but the less familiar HAMZAH carries the biggest total. Check your game's word list before playing an uncommon form: Collins accepts all 19 matches, while NWL2023 accepts 15.

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

Nearby patterns make this set look especially small. With H still at the end, E in the third position gives 67 matches, O gives 56, and A gives 52; M gives just 19. Keep M in place but change the final letter to S, and the count rises to 244.

The starting letters are scattered too: S begins 3 entries, while C, E, I, L, and N each begin 2. That makes the fixed M and H better filters than an opening-letter guess. Try COMETH or TEMPEH when you recognize a spelling; keep HAMZAH in mind when score matters more than familiarity.

None of these matches is common by the top-25,000 frequency measure. Treat the set as a constraint-solving list, not a bank of everyday guesses, and reserve dictionary checks for an unfamiliar play.
