The pattern is T _ _ H _ _, so the fourth slot is fixed while the other four letters vary. Only 2 of the 39 matches are common by frequency, which makes recognizable choices such as techno and tights stand out. Most entries are specialist or uncommon terms, and the accepted set changes with the dictionary.

6-letter words with T as the 1st letter and H as the 4th letter

  • There are 39 matches across the tournament dictionaries.
  • Collins includes 37 matches, compared with 26 in NWL2023 and 23 in ENABLE.

  • Typhus and typhon tie for the top listed Scrabble score at 14.

Which matching words score highest in Scrabble?

Typhus and typhon lead the scoring list at 14 points each. Tythed and takhis follow at 13, while teched and towhee score 12. These scores make the less familiar entries worth a closer look when your rack already fits the pattern.

Techno scores 11, but it is easier to recognize than the leaders. The average score across the matches is 10.6. Treat the score as a starting point: an occupied premium square can matter more than the small gap between these listed totals.

How should you use this letter pattern?

Start by testing the letters before and after H rather than guessing whole words. Tether, teched, and techno show how different the remaining slots can look, while the final-letter counts point to S as the strongest ending to check first.

The 39 6-letter words with T as the 1st letter and H as the 4th letter do not all belong to every game dictionary. Only 23 appear in ENABLE, versus 37 in Collins, so check your game's word list before relying on an obscure entry. For a nearby clue, the R-first pattern has 44 matches.

Questions people ask

Are many T-first, H-fourth six-letter words common?
No; only 2 of the 39 matches rank among the common words. Techno and tights are recognizable examples, while entries such as tither and tocher are much less familiar. If you are solving a clue, use the fixed letter positions first, then check any candidate against your game’s dictionary.
Which T _ _ H _ _ word has the highest Scrabble score?
Typhus and typhon tie at 14 points each in the scores. Tythed and takhis are next at 13 points. The top options are not necessarily the most familiar words, so make sure the word is accepted in your game before playing it.
How many five- and seven-letter words share this pattern?
The five-letter pattern has 18 matches, while the seven-letter version has 50. Those totals give you a useful next step when your clue has the same T-first, H-fourth positions but a different word length.
