The pattern gives you a broad set of options, but familiarity varies: 54 words rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The collection includes 399 words with definitions, and it spans everyday terms such as CHAPTER and CHARGES as well as less familiar entries. Check your letter rack against the examples before narrowing your search.

At a glance: the C-H pattern

The pattern matches 480 words, each seven letters long and beginning CH.
CHANGES and CHICKEN are recognizable examples; CHINTZY scores 24 points.
The final letter is S most often, with 133 words ending that way.
Collins includes 469 matches, compared with 368 in NWL2023 and 326 in ENABLE.

How many 7-letter words with C first and H second?

There are 480 matches across the tournament dictionaries. The source counts overlap, so adding the Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE totals does not give a unique-word count. For a North American game, the NWL2023 total is 368; Collins has the largest count at 469.

C followed by H is a productive start: the same position pattern has 776 matches with O second and 643 with A second. Switching the first letter to S while keeping H second gives 393 seven-letter words, fewer than the C-H set.

For a fast shortlist, start with endings. S leads at 133, followed by D at 71 and R at 60. CHANGES and CHARGES show the common S ending, while CHANGED and CHECKED illustrate D.

Choose an entry by its ending and score

The 480 7-letter words with C first and H second are not equally familiar: only 54 fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency. CHAPTER, CHANNEL, and CHICKEN are easier to recognize than many obscure tournament entries.

A useful rack check is to sort by the last letter before scanning the full list. S, D, and R together account for 264 entries, making those endings a sensible first pass when you have a matching final tile.

For a high-value play, CHINTZY scores 24 points. That score makes it a standout among the examples, but it depends on having the right letters; common words such as CHANGES are more familiar, not necessarily stronger scoring plays.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words start with CH?

There are 480 seven-letter words with C first and H second across the tournament dictionaries. The count includes familiar entries such as CHAPTER and CHANNEL alongside less common words, so the full set is broader than everyday vocabulary.

What is the most common final letter in these CH words?

S is the most common final letter, appearing in 133 matches. D comes next with 71, then R with 60. Examples include CHANGES for S and CHANGED for D, making those endings quick filters when solving a pattern.

Which word in this group scores 24 points?

CHINTZY scores 24 points. It stands out from familiar choices such as CHICKEN and CHAPTER, though a strong score still depends on the tiles and board position available in your game.
