6-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and H as the 6th letter

With O and H fixed, four positions can move, yet only three of the 49 entries are everyday words by frequency (the top 25,000). Familiar anchors such as FOURTH, JOSEPH, and POLISH sit beside specialist terms including MOOLOCH and OOMPAH. That mix matters when you are solving from a pattern rather than browsing ordinary vocabulary.

What stands out in this letter pattern?

• Tournament dictionaries hold 49 words with O second and H last.
• Just three of them are common words.
• M begins the most entries, with 9; C follows with 8.
• JOSEPH and POOJAH lead the score list at 18 points each.
• The pattern has 48 Collins entries, compared with 38 in NWL2023.

Which first letters appear most often?

M is the most frequent first letter, with 9 entries, followed by C with 8. H and P each begin 5 words, while D begins 4. Those four opening letters account for most of the set, so a known first letter quickly narrows your search.

The remaining recorded starts are B and G with 3 apiece, plus T with 3. FOURTH, JOSEPH, and POLISH show how different these openings can be even with O fixed in second place and H locked at the end. Compare the first tile before testing an unfamiliar word.

Which matching words score highest?

JOSEPH and POOJAH top the score list at 18 points. HOOKAH and HOWDAH follow at 16, while BOYISH, COHOSH, and HOOTCH each score 14. The leaders rely on high-value letters, but several are less familiar than FOURTH or POLISH.

Collins takes 48 of the 49, NWL2023 takes 38 and ENABLE takes 36, so some of these words fail in some games. Check your game's word list before playing an obscure form. The average score across all 49 is 12.4 points, so the 18-point leaders sit well above it.
