The fixed ending makes this a compact six-letter pattern: every answer closes in H, while T sits two places earlier. ATTACH and DETACH are familiar options, but the 13-word set also includes spellings such as MATZAH and MATZOH. Only 2 entries fall within the common-word cutoff, so expect an uneven mix of everyday vocabulary and specialist forms.

How many 6-letter words have T third and H sixth?
Exactly 13 tournament-dictionary words match the pattern. ATTACH, DETACH, POTASH, and FETISH are the more recognizable entries. The rest include KITSCH, PUTSCH, MATZAH, MATZOH, FATWAH, LATISH, FETICH, DOTISH, and MATSAH, so treat the set as a pattern list, not a list of equally common words.
Collins includes all 13 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include 11 each. That split matters in tournament play: a word accepted in Collins is not guaranteed in a North American game. Only 2 words meet the common-word cutoff, so check the active game's lexicon before committing an unfamiliar spelling.
Which words score highest, and how can you narrow them?
In Scrabble, MATZAH and MATZOH score 20 points apiece, the top values in this group; KITSCH and FATWAH follow at 15. FETICH scores 14, while ATTACH and POTASH each score 11. These are base tile totals, so a premium square can change the result without changing which entries fit the pattern.
For solving, pin H in the final cell first, then hold T in slot three; the remaining positions still need testing. F and M are the most common opening letters, with 3 matches each, followed by D and P with 2 apiece. That split gives a practical first pass in timed solving: test F/M starts before scanning the single A, K, or L entries.
ATTACH and DETACH share TACH at the end, while MATZAH and MATZOH differ only in their fifth letter.
