Fix H in the opening square and E in the sixth, and the remaining letters still leave room for familiar words such as HOWEVER, HUNDRED and HANDLED. The 311 results range from everyday vocabulary to tournament-friendly oddities. Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins has nearly the full set, while NWL2023 and ENABLE accept smaller subsets.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 311 tournament-dictionary words with H first and E sixth.
  • Collins includes 309 matches; NWL2023 has 243 and ENABLE has 231.
  • Just 22 entries fall within our common-word group, so many matches are specialized.
  • The most frequent final letters are S at 117, D at 77 and R at 76.

7-letter words with H as the 1st letter and E as the 6th letter

The 311 matches include familiar words such as HOWEVER, HUNDRED, HANDLED, HAPPIER and HAUNTED. Each follows H _ _ _ _ E _, so the sixth letter is fixed while the middle positions stay open.

The endings offer a quick sorting clue: S, D and R account for most of the common final-letter groups. Try HANDLES, HANDLED or HANDLER when those endings fit your rack; the shared H-A-N-D-L-E opening makes the final tile the key distinction.

For a nearby pattern comparison, changing the sixth letter to N leaves 199 H-starting words, while R gives 120. The E group is larger than either, but it is still far smaller than the 1,401 words with S first and E sixth.

Which H-first, E-sixth words score highest?

Among 7-letter words with H as the 1st letter and E as the 6th letter, HUZZAED leads at 29 points, followed by HUZZIES at 28. Both use high-value Z tiles, so they outscore ordinary choices even before a premium square is involved.

The average score is 13, but the strongest plays are not the most familiar words. Only 267 matches have definitions, and the common-word group contains 22, so check your game's word list before building a play around an obscure entry. NWL2023 accepts 243 matches against Collins' 309.
