6-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and H as the 4th letter

The fixed TH pair sits in the middle, but the words range from everyday terms to specialist vocabulary. WITHIN and FATHER are familiar choices; ZYTHUM and KATHAK are less likely to come to mind. Only 18 matches rank among the commonest English words, so the pattern is easier to search than to solve from memory.

The TH pattern at a glance

• There are 108 tournament-dictionary matches, and 93 have definitions.
• The most frequent starting letter is L, with 17 words.

6-letter words with T as the 3rd and H as the 4th letter

The opening letters are more spread out than the endings: L starts 17 matches, while M starts 11 and P starts 10. Familiar examples include LETHAL, METHOD, MOTHER, and PATHOS. That makes the first two letters a useful narrowing clue when the middle TH is already fixed.

R and S together dominate the last position, with 34 and 26 words respectively. R endings include EITHER, RATHER, and GATHER; S endings include MYTHIC and PATHOS. D comes next with 15, as in METHOD and BATHED.

The count includes words found in at least one tournament list: ENABLE has 65, Collins has 104, and NWL2023 has 75. Those dictionary counts overlap, so they are not separate piles to add together.
