Only one of the 23 entries is common by word-frequency ranking, so most are specialist vocabulary rather than everyday guesses. The recognizable KEYHOLE and KASHMIR sit beside KOLHOZY, KACHCHA, and KITHARA, which show how quickly this fixed pattern reaches less familiar terms. Collins includes 22 matches, compared with 16 in NWL2023 and 13 in ENABLE.

At a glance: K first, H fourth

  • Exactly 23 tournament-dictionary words begin with K and put H in the fourth slot.
  • Only one is common by word-frequency ranking; KEYHOLE is a recognizable anchor.
  • Ten finish in S, including KASHRUS, KISHKES, and KOSHERS.
  • Collins covers 22; NWL2023 covers 16, and ENABLE covers 13; those totals overlap.
  • KOLHOZY tops the score list at 26, with KACHCHA and KUCHCHA at 21 apiece.

How many 7-letter words with K as 1st and H as 4th letter?

The count is 23, well below nearby starting-letter patterns: B with H fourth has 80, while M has 75. Keep the fixed letters in positions one and four, then scan the other five slots instead of treating every K-word as a candidate. KEYHOLE is recognizable, but most of the group is uncommon.

Ten of the 23 end in S; four end in A, and two each finish in E or G. That S-heavy tail includes forms such as KASHERS and KATHAKS. Dictionary coverage differs: Collins has 22 matches, but NWL2023 has 16 and ENABLE 13, so check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar entry.

The position clue is unusually tight: this K-first, H-fourth pattern has 23 entries, versus 80 for B and 75 for M with H in fourth place. That contrast makes the initial K a strong first filter.

Which matches score highest?

KOLHOZY scores 26 points, the top total among these matches. KACHCHA and KUCHCHA follow at 21 each. KISHKES, KISHKAS, KATHUMP, KYTHING, and KATHAKS each score 18.

High face value does not guarantee an easy play: save the K for a premium letter square when the board gives you a chance.

For 7-letter words with K as 1st and H as 4th letter, the main limitation is vocabulary: just one entry is common. Treat the pattern as a rack filter, not a promise of familiar playable words; KEYHOLE and KASHMIR are easier anchors than KOLHOZY.

Questions people ask

Does KEYHOLE fit the K-and-H letter pattern?
Yes. KEYHOLE has seven letters, starts with K, and places H in slot four, so it satisfies both fixed positions. It is one of the more recognizable examples among the 23 matches, alongside KASHMIR.
What is the highest-scoring word in this group?
KOLHOZY scores 26 points, the highest total among these matches. KACHCHA and KUCHCHA follow at 21 each. Those are face-value word scores before board bonuses, so a premium square can change the final result; their unusual spellings also make dictionary coverage worth checking.
Are many of these K-and-H words common?
Only one of these 23 ranks as common by frequency. KEYHOLE and KASHMIR may look familiar, but familiarity is not the same as a common-frequency classification. Expect specialized entries, and check your game's dictionary before playing an unfamiliar form.
