The pattern fixes L in slot two and H in slot six, narrowing the tournament-dictionary pool to 27 words. SLEIGHT and ALRIGHT are among the recognizable entries, while PLOUGHS and SLOUCHY show how many answers use less familiar spellings or forms. Only one match ranks as common by word frequency, so expect a specialized clue list rather than everyday vocabulary.

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

  • The fixed pattern produces 27 tournament-dictionary matches.
  • Collins includes all 27; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 18.
  • Only one match ranks as common by word frequency.
  • S begins eight matches, ahead of C with six and P with five.
  • S is the most frequent ending, appearing on 13 words.

Which starting and ending letters dominate?

Starting letters cluster around S, C, and P: eight matches begin with S, six with C, and five with P. SLEIGHT, SLEUTHS, and SLOUCHY show the range within the S group, from a familiar noun to less common forms.

Endings are more concentrated: 13 words finish in S, seven in Y, and five in T. PLOUGHS and SLEIGHS illustrate the S ending, while BLOTCHY and GLITCHY show the Y group. If your final tile is fixed, that ending pattern quickly narrows the candidates.

Which words score highest in Scrabble?

BLOTCHY and CLUTCHY lead the listed Scrabble scores at 17 points each. Both pack C, H, and Y into the same seven-letter word, so they stand out even before a premium board square is involved.

The 7-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and H as the 6th letter are not equally portable across games: Collins has 27 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 have 18 apiece. A Collins entry outside your game's accepted list will not count as a play, so check the active dictionary before committing an unfamiliar form such as CLEUGHS.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have L second and H sixth?
There are 27 tournament-dictionary matches for this pattern. The count includes entries from Collins, ENABLE, and NWL2023, rather than words with no tournament-dictionary source. Only one of the matches ranks as common by word frequency.
Which familiar words fit L second and H sixth?
ALRIGHT, SLEIGHT, and PLOUGHS are among the more recognizable matches. The full set also includes less familiar forms such as CLEUGHS and CLUTCHY, so a familiar-looking pattern does not guarantee an everyday answer.
What is the highest Scrabble score among these words?
BLOTCHY and CLUTCHY tie for the highest score at 17 points each. Their C, H, and Y tiles give both words a strong base before any letter or word multipliers on the board are applied.
