A fixed KH opening narrows this seven-letter pattern to 24 words across tournament dictionaries. The endings are lopsided: 13 finish in S, while four finish in H. KHAZENS tops the scoring list, but the single common entry is the exception in a group dominated by specialist vocabulary.

7-letter words with K as the 1st letter and H as the 2nd letter

  • There are 24 matches with KH in the first two positions.
  • KHAZENS scores 23 points, the highest score.
  • Thirteen matches end in S; four end in H.
  • The average score across the matches is 17.3 points.
  • Only one match ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Which KH words score the most?

KHAZENS leads at 23 points, followed by KHODJAS at 22. KHANJAR and KHIRKAH each score 21, so the top four all reach at least 21 before any board bonus.

KHUTBAH, KHOTBAH, and KHOTBEH each score 19. Khedive, Khedahs, and Khediva score 18 apiece. These are tile scores, not a promise of a premium-square total; the board position decides whether a play grows.

How widely are these words accepted?

Collins includes all 24 matches, compared with 10 in NWL2023 and 9 in ENABLE. That gap matters in cross-dictionary games: a word accepted in one list may be rejected in another, so check your game's word list before challenging.

Most entries are uncommon, and 21 have definitions in the source. Treat this pattern as a rack or placement clue, not a bank of everyday vocabulary. For nearby choices, compare the 22 six-letter KH words or switch the second letter to I, which opens 141 seven-letter K-I matches.

The full pattern remains a narrow search: 7-letter words with K as the 1st letter and H as the 2nd letter.
