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

This is a tight pattern, with 19 entries across the tournament dictionaries. None rank among the most common English words by frequency, so expect several unfamiliar options. The list includes recognizable forms such as KITSCHY and KABOCHA, alongside less familiar words such as KEDDAHS and KIRBEHS.

The pattern at a glance

• There are 19 matching words; 16 appear in Collins, 13 in NWL2023, and 10 in ENABLE.
• No entry meets the common group, so this pattern favors exact-fit searching over quick recall.
• Eleven words end in S; four end in A, while I and Y each finish two.
• KVETCHY leads the scores at 22 points; KACHCHA and KUCHCHA each score 21.
• The average score is 17.4 points, just 4.6 below KVETCHY's 22.

Which 7-letter words have K first and H sixth?

The strongest clue is the final letter: 11 of the 19 words end in S. KASBAHS, KIPPAHS, KALIPHS, and KOOLAHS show that common ending clearly, while KITSCHY and KVETCHY stand out among the two Y-ending options.

This pattern has fewer matches than several close relatives. Swap the H for E and K-first words reach 157; keep H sixth and swap K for S, and the count is 81. A K at the start narrows the field sharply.

KABOCHA and KOBOCHA are both in the set, but don't treat a familiar-looking spelling as proof of game validity. Collins includes 16 matches, while NWL2023 includes 13; check the word list used in your game.
