The pattern fixes two letters but leaves five positions open: every match has C-H in positions one and three, with any letter between them. COHABIT and COHORTS are recognizable examples; CAHOUNS and COHUNES are less familiar. The matches average 12.4 points, and none ranks among the most common English words.

At a glance, the C-and-H pattern

  • There are 15 matches, including COHABIT, COHORTS, CAHOOTS, and CAHIERS.
  • Ten matches end in S; the other five end in T, D, N, or R.
  • COHABIT and COHIBIT lead the score list at 14 points each.
  • ENABLE includes 11 matches, while Collins and NWL2023 each include 13.

How do the 15 C-and-H matches differ?

The strongest shared shape is a final S: COHORTS, CAHOOTS, and COHOSTS all fit, and S accounts for 10 of the 15 endings. That makes the last letter a useful check when your crossing tiles point to a plural or verb form.

The other endings are much less frequent in this group. COHABIT and COHIBIT finish with T, COHERED ends in D, COHESIN ends in N, and COHERER ends in R. If a candidate ends in S, it belongs to the largest ending group here.

COHABIT and COHIBIT score 14 points apiece, ahead of COHERED and COHEADS at 13. But rare words dominate the pattern: none meets the common-word cutoff, and only 14 matches have a definition. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

Use 7-letter words with C first and H third

For a crossword or letter-placement puzzle, write the skeleton as C _ H _ _ _ _. Then test the known ending: the S group includes COHERES and COHOSTS, while COHABIT and COHIBIT offer T endings.

For a word game, compare the spelling with the rack before choosing a high scorer. COHABIT uses a familiar word, while COHIBIT is less likely to come to mind; both have the same 14-point score.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: the 15-match total spans ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023, but each includes a different number. An entry accepted in one list may not be playable in another.
