This fixed pattern leaves a compact group, and the first letter narrows it further: S starts 10 entries, while G and K start three each. SMOOTH is the sole common entry by frequency, while many matches are specialist or uncommon forms. For word-game play, dictionary coverage matters as much as recognition.

6-letter words with O as 4th and H as 6th letter at a glance

  • The pattern has 26 matches, and every one ends in H.
  • S leads the first-letter groups with 10 words; G and K have three each.
  • Collins accepts 25 matches, compared with 21 in NWL2023 and 17 in ENABLE.
  • ZEROTH and KYBOSH tie for the top tile score at 18 points.
  • Only one match is common by frequency; SMOOTH is the recognizable everyday pick.

Which words fit the O-fourth, H-sixth pattern?

SMOOTH, BROOCH, WHOOSH, and SMOOCH show how different the group can sound while sharing the same fixed letters. Each has O in position four and H at the end, but the opening letters and word shapes vary.

S accounts for 10 of the first letters, more than any other starting letter in this group. G and K contribute three apiece. That concentration makes an S-start a sensible early check when your other clues allow it, but it does not make the less frequent openings disposable.

Which matching words score highest?

ZEROTH and KYBOSH lead at 18 points each, with WHOOSH and KIBOSH next at 15. COHOSH scores 14, while BROOCH, SMOOCH, MOLOCH, and SCOOCH each score 13. These are tile-score comparisons, not a promise of the best board result.

The 6-letter words with O as 4th and H as 6th letter are unevenly covered across tournament dictionaries: Collins includes 25, but ENABLE includes 17. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry such as KYBOSH or MOLOCH. The rarity is the point: a high tile score does not guarantee a playable word in every dictionary.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have O fourth and H last?
There are 26 matching six-letter words. SMOOTH, BROOCH, and WHOOSH are among the examples, and all end in H. The starting letters are not evenly spread: S begins 10 matches, while G and K begin three each.
Which O-fourth, H-last word scores the most?
ZEROTH and KYBOSH share the highest score at 18 points each. WHOOSH and KIBOSH follow at 15 points. A word's tile score is separate from its value on a particular board, where placement and premium squares also affect the result.
Are all 26 words accepted in every word-game dictionary?
No, each game accepts a different share. Collins takes 25 of the 26, NWL2023 takes 21, and ENABLE takes only 17. That gap matters most for unfamiliar entries such as KYBOSH and MOLOCH, so check the word list used by your game before playing one.
