The pattern fixes two positions, leaving five letters to solve around D and the final H. REDDISH stands apart as the sole common match, while specialist terms such as MIDRASH and KADDISH sit beside familiar CODFISH and REDFISH. M leads the starting letters with four entries, and B, K, and R each begin three.

7-letter words with D as the 3rd letter and H as the 7th letter

  • Exactly 25 seven-letter words meet both fixed positions: D occupies slot three and H closes each word.
  • REDDISH is the only common match; it stands out when your clue points toward a familiar adjective.
  • Collins accepts 24 matches, while NWL2023 accepts 19, so one game's list can reject an entry another allows.
  • ENABLE contains 15 matches, fewer than either Collins or NWL2023.
  • CODFISH, KADDISH, KIDDUSH, MUDFISH, KIDDISH, and PADSHAH share the top score: 16 points apiece.

Why do these dictionaries disagree?

The counts overlap; they are not separate piles to add together. The overall total is 25 distinct words, while Collins has 24, NWL2023 has 19, and ENABLE has 15. Those gaps matter in tournament play, where a spelling accepted in one list may fail in another.

FADDISH and REDDISH are easier to recognize than ARDRIGH or ENDARCH, but familiarity is not a validity test. One match is classified as common, and 20 of the 25 have definitions; the remaining five can still appear in a game's accepted list.

Changing only the final letter widens the search: D in third with S last has 463 matches, against 25 ending in H. Keep H fixed and switch the third letter to R, and the count rises to 86.

How do the top scores compare?

  • CODFISH and MUDFISH pair the high-value F with the fixed D and H, reaching the top score without an unusual spelling.
  • KADDISH, KIDDUSH, KIDDISH, and PADSHAH join them at 16, despite their different-looking letter patterns.
  • FADDISH, BADMASH, MUDBATH, and BUDMASH each score 15, just behind the leaders.
  • For this D-third, H-last pattern, compare base values first, then check premium squares; board placement can change a play's total.

Questions people ask

Are all these words accepted in every Scrabble dictionary?
No, dictionary acceptance differs by game. Collins includes 24 of the 25 matches, while NWL2023 includes 19 and ENABLE includes 15. Those totals overlap rather than forming separate groups. Check the rules for your game before relying on a less familiar spelling.
Which word is the only common match?
REDDISH is the only common word among these matches. It is easier to recognize beside CODFISH and REDFISH, while other entries include specialist or less familiar forms such as MIDRASH, KADDISH, and ARDRIGH. Commonness offers a clue, not a test of dictionary validity.
Does REDDISH have the highest Scrabble score here?
No. Six entries reach 16 points, including CODFISH, MUDFISH, KADDISH, and PADSHAH. REDDISH does not lead the score list. FADDISH and BADMASH score 15, one point behind; premium squares can change a play's total, but those are the base values.
