This fixed pattern leaves a compact set rather than a broad word bank. Eight entries share the -ish ending, while FLYSCH and WHYDAH break that mold. All 10 appear in Collins, but only seven appear in ENABLE and seven in NWL2023, so the game’s dictionary can change which choices you can play.

What stands out in the Y–H pattern?

  • There are 10 six-letter matches, and every one ends in H.
  • Eight matches end in -ish; FLYSCH and WHYDAH are the exceptions.
  • S starts three entries: SKYISH, SHYISH, and SLYISH.
  • WHYDAH scores 19 points, the highest score in this group.
  • No entry falls in the common-word range.

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

The full set is BOYISH, COYISH, DRYISH, FLYSCH, GOYISH, SHYISH, SKYISH, SLYISH, TOYISH, and WHYDAH. Each has Y in position three and H at the end, so a confirmed pattern sharply narrows your options.

The eight -ish words share a recognizable ending, but their first letters still separate them: seven begin with B, C, D, G, S, or T, with S appearing three times. FLYSCH and WHYDAH are the two outliers, so keep them in mind if the familiar adjective-like forms do not fit.

Which matches score highest, and where are they accepted?

WHYDAH leads at 19 points, followed by FLYSCH at 17 and SKYISH at 16. The group’s average score is 14.5, so the standout is not just a one-point edge over the next option: WHYDAH leads FLYSCH by two.

All 10 are listed in Collins, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include seven. That narrower coverage matters more than the shared letter pattern: check your game’s word list before playing, especially with the less familiar FLYSCH or WHYDAH.
