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

That fixed pattern leaves a compact set: every match has N in position two and ends in H. Familiar examples include ENGLISH, UNLEASH, ANGUISH, and UNEARTH, but the set also has less everyday forms such as INVEIGH and ENDARCH. The leading letter is usually U, so checking the first tile narrows your search quickly.

The pattern at a glance

• There are 30 matching words, and every one ends in H.
• U begins 16 entries, making it the leading first letter by far.
• Only 3 entries are classed as common English words.
• The average score is 12.3 points.
• Collins lists all 30 matches; ENABLE lists 16.

Which first letters appear most often?

The list is unusually U-heavy: 16 words start with U, while E begins five and I begins four. The remaining first letters are S, A, G, and K; only two start with S, and just one starts with each of A, G, and K. If your rack cannot make a U-start, try ENGLISH, ENDARCH, or INVEIGH.

Because all 30 matches share the final H, that letter does not separate candidates. The middle letters do the work: UNLEASH, UNCOUTH, and UNTRUTH are recognizable U-words, while GNOMISH and KNAVISH offer less obvious paths. Only three entries fall in the common-word group, so expect some specialist vocabulary.

What scores well, and where are the limits?

The 7-letter words with N as the 2nd letter and H as the 7th letter vary sharply in score. KNAVISH leads at 17 points, ahead of UNHITCH and UNWITCH at 15 each. INVEIGH, SNAKISH, and UNPERCH score 14 apiece.

Board premiums can change the result, but KNAVISH has the highest base score.

Twenty entries have definitions, and the dictionary totals differ: NWL2023 accepts 17, compared with ENABLE's 16 and Collins's 30. Check your game's word list before playing rarer forms; this pattern match does not guarantee that every entry appears in every competition.
