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

The fixed pattern is _EH____, but the words do not spread evenly across the alphabet. Fourteen begin with B, nine begin with R, and 20 end in S. Only three entries rank among the 25,000 most common English words, so expect a mix of familiar vocabulary and specialist finds.

What stands out in the _EH____ pattern

• There are 32 seven-letter matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
• B leads the first-letter group with 14 words; R is next with nine.
• Twenty matches end in S, making that the dominant final letter.
• Only three matches are common by our frequency measure.
• JEHADIS scores 18 points; BEHAVED, BEHOVED, and BEHIGHT each score 16.

How many 7-letter words have E second and H third?

There are 32, and nearly three quarters start with B or R: 14 begin with B and nine with R. That leaves nine words across D, J, L, M, and V. Try those opening letters first when your rack or crossing clues narrow the pattern.

The examples show why the opening letter matters. BEHAVED and BEHAVES share a stem, while REHIRED and REHIRES shift the first letter and ending. VEHICLE is a more familiar option, but most entries are uncommon; only three make the common-word group.

Which matches score well, and where are they accepted?

Dictionary coverage varies: Collins contains 31 matches, NWL2023 has 29, and ENABLE has 25. The combined count is 32 because the sources overlap without being identical. A word accepted in one list may not work in another, so check your game's word list before committing an unfamiliar entry.
