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

With R fixed in position four and H closing the word, the pattern narrows to 30 tournament-dictionary entries. CHURCH, SEARCH, and HEARTH are recognizable anchors, while HIJRAH and EXARCH bring less familiar vocabulary. Only five matches are common, so a blank pattern match does not guarantee an everyday answer.

At a glance, 6-letter words with R fourth and H last

• Thirty words fit the pattern, and every one ends in H.
• CHURCH, SEARCH, FOURTH, STARCH, and HEARTH are recognizable examples.
• Only five matches are classed as common; 23 have definitions.
• HIJRAH leads the tile scores at 19, ahead of EXARCH at 18 and CHURCH at 16.

Which starting letters appear most often?

S is the clear leader: 10 matches start with S, including SEARCH, STARCH, SCORCH, and SMIRCH. H starts four, with HEARTH and HURRAH among the examples; D and E each start three. When the first tile is unknown, testing an S-opening candidate samples the largest starting group.

Among the less frequent listed openings, A, C, and W each contribute two matches, while F appears once in FOURTH. SEARCH, STARCH, and SCORCH show familiar consonant clusters; HEARTH shifts the vowel pattern. Keep the other tiles open rather than guessing a complete word too early.

All 30 matches end in H, so the final tile is the strongest shared clue. Lock in the final H and fourth-place R before sorting the candidates by their first letter.

Which matches offer stronger tile scores?

HIJRAH tops the scoring list at 19 points, with EXARCH at 18; CHURCH and JARRAH each score 16. Those totals make the unusual spellings worth recognizing when a board offers a good placement, though a premium square changes the result. CHURCH is the familiar high scorer; HIJRAH wins on its less common letters.
