7-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and H as the 3rd letter

This fixed C-H pattern has 96 entries across tournament dictionaries, though dictionary coverage varies: Collins lists 91, NWL2023 61, and ENABLE 52, with overlap. Only five entries meet the common-word cutoff, so recognizable picks like schools share space with specialist vocabulary. Treat the pattern as a clue, not a guarantee of an everyday answer.

7-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and H as the 3rd letter

• 96 words match these fixed letter positions in tournament dictionaries.
• Collins includes 91, NWL2023 61, and ENABLE 52; dictionary totals overlap.
• Only 5 matches meet the common-word cutoff, including schools and achieve.
• Definitions are available for 76 entries.
• S is the leading first letter, appearing on 59 words.

Which words make this C-H pattern easier to spot?

S dominates the first position: 59 entries start with that letter, while A and E each begin 13. Prioritize checking S when you have no clue for the first tile, but keep the other five starting letters in play; O, I, and T also appear.

Schools, schemes, scholar, and schemas show the familiar SCH opening. Achieve and echoing prove the pattern is not limited to an initial S. With just 5 common entries among 96 matches, expect many results to be specialist vocabulary rather than everyday guesses.

The same C-H positions produce 51 six-letter words and 17 five-letter words. This seven-letter group is almost twice the size of its six-letter counterpart, so adding a tile opens up substantially more possibilities.

Which endings and scores stand out?

S closes 34 matches, more than twice the 14 that end in E; K follows with 9. A and Z each finish 6 words. When the final tile is unknown, S is the strongest frequency clue, though a frequent ending does not automatically make a word high-scoring.

The highest score is 33; schnozz scores 30, schvitz 24, and schmutz 23, compared with a 15.2 average. Those scoring standouts contrast with familiar entries like schools. For 7-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and H as the 3rd letter, frequency and tile value point to different kinds of candidates.
