The pattern is _H___E_: H stays in position two and E in position six, leaving four slots to narrow your clue. Familiar matches include CHAPTER, SHELTER, and CHICKEN, but the set also contains high-scoring finds such as WHIZZED. Most entries begin with C, S, or W, while D and R dominate the final letter.

7-letter words with H as the 2nd letter and E as the 6th letter

There are 495 matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
C leads the first-letter count with 182 words; S follows with 139 and W with 80.
D is the most common final letter at 183, ahead of R at 142 and S at 93.
WHIZZED scores 32, the highest value among the scoring examples.

Which letters appear most often at the ends?

D, R, and S finish 418 of the 495 matches combined, making them the strongest endings to check first. Their counts are 183, 142, and 93 respectively; every other ending appears far less often.

For board play, the standout is WHIZZED at 32 points, followed by WHIZZES and WHIZZER at 31 each. Those unusual Z-heavy words outscore familiar matches such as CHAPTER and SHELTER. A useful rule of thumb: keep a high-value tile available for a fitting board square, but verify the word in your game's dictionary before playing.

How does this pattern compare with nearby clues?

The 495 H-and-E matches form a smaller group than the 1,319 words with O second and E sixth. Within this set, the first three starting letters account for 401 words, so checking C, S, and W first is a practical shortcut when your opening letter is unknown.

Familiar vocabulary is only a slice: 68 matches fall among the commonest English words. Collins includes 481, while NWL2023 includes 389 and ENABLE includes 356; those dictionary totals overlap, so they are not separate piles to add together. This pattern is a clue filter, not a promise that every match is accepted in every game.

Questions people ask

What is the highest-scoring 7-letter word with H second and E sixth?

WHIZZED is the highest-scoring listed match, at 32 points. WHIZZES and WHIZZER follow at 31 each. Their Z tiles drive the totals, so they are worth spotting when the board offers a good placement.

Which starting letter is most common in this pattern?

C is the most common starting letter, with 182 matches. S comes next with 139, then W with 80. Those three openings account for most of the set, making them strong checks when you know the first tile.

Are all 495 words accepted in every word game?

No; the dictionary sets do not contain identical lists. Collins has 481 matches, NWL2023 has 389, and ENABLE has 356. The totals overlap, but a word accepted in one game may not be accepted in another, so check the dictionary your game uses.
