7-letter words with L third and H seventh
FOLKISH and HALAKAH tie at 17 points; WOLFISH and WOLVISH each score 16. The average score is 12.9, strong for this pattern, though that does not make every play a winner. SELFISH is a recognizable option when your rack lacks the J or V-heavy alternatives.
The starting letters are remarkably distributed: H and S begin five matches each, B begins four, and F and G also begin four. HELLISH, SELFISH, BULLISH, and FOLKISH make the repeated ending easy to spot. Because every word closes in H, look to the first tile and middle letters to distinguish candidates.
