The fixed frame is _ _ S H _ _. Among its 170 tournament-dictionary matches, only 20 rank among the most frequent English words, so familiar choices like bishop share space with less common entries. Final S and D account for the largest ending groups, giving you two strong filters when the last tile is unknown.
6-letter words with S as the 3rd letter and H as the 4th letter
- Exactly 170 words fit the frame, with an entry accepted by at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE.
- Just 20 matches rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words, so many entries are less familiar.
- Final S leads with 56 words; D follows with 37, then R with 26.
- P begins 19 matches, while M and R begin 18 apiece.
Which endings are most common in this pattern?
Final S is the clearest shortcut: 56 words end that way, including wishes, dishes, pushes, bushes, and washes. Another 37 end in D; pushed, washed, wished, rushed, and mashed show how often this pattern catches past-tense forms.
Those familiar examples are a small slice of the full set. Bishop, fisher, washer, kosher, and cashew are recognizable, but only 20 words fall among the commonest matches. A total of 137 entries have definitions. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form, since Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE do not share identical coverage.
How do these S-H words compare for games?
The opening letter gives you another way to narrow the search: P leads with 19 matches, while M and R tie at 18. For another six-letter pattern with H in fourth place, the C version has 139 words; changing H to T after S produces 239.
Kishke, kishka, and joshed top the scoring examples at 17 points each; joshes and josher score 16. Cashew scores 14. Those high values come from less everyday words, so do not assume the most familiar answer also earns the most points. The 6-letter words with S as the 3rd letter and H as the 4th letter are a clue pattern first, not a guarantee that every match suits your game.
