Highest-scoring words
That fixed ending makes a compact clue set, not a general list of six-letter words. HEALTH, GROWTH, FOURTH and LENGTH are easy to recognize, but the matches also include less familiar forms such as SNEATH and SCARTH. Only 13 rank among common English words by frequency, so the familiar examples are a minority.
The T-H pattern at a glance
- The pattern has 56 tournament-dictionary matches in total.
- Collins includes 55 matches; NWL2023 has 37 and ENABLE has 36.
- ZIZITH tops the score examples at 27 points, ahead of ZIBETH at 20.
- S is the most common first letter, beginning 18 of these words.
Which familiar words fit the T-H ending?
Start with HEALTH, GROWTH, LENGTH, BREATH, WEALTH and WARMTH. These everyday choices show how the final T-H can follow several different vowel and consonant patterns.
FOURTH and EIGHTH fit too, alongside ZEROTH and ZENITH. The shared ending does not mean the words share a single word family; their first four letters vary widely.
The first-letter spread has a clear leader: S accounts for 18 matches, while W has five and H and Z have four each. Try S first when the opening letter is unknown.
Which matches score highest, and what should you watch for?
ZIZITH scores 27, while ZIBETH scores 20; ZENITH and ZEROTH each score 18. Those unusual spellings are score-heavy options, but familiar words such as WARMTH and GROWTH are easier to spot during play.
The average score is 11.9, and several matches are obscure or dictionary-dependent. Check your game's word list before relying on a rare entry; a matching pattern alone does not guarantee acceptance.
