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

The constraint is unusually narrow: P must occupy slot two while H sits in slot six, leaving five other positions to vary. Only one match is common by our frequency cutoff, so familiar-looking options such as UPRIGHT and UPTIGHT sit beside rarities like SPARTHE and SPARTHS. All 12 appear in Collins; only eight are in ENABLE and NWL2023.

7-letter words with P as 2nd and H as 6th at a glance

• Exactly 12 tournament-dictionary words fit the P-second, H-sixth pattern.
• Six start with S; U starts three, E starts two, and Y starts one.

• Only one match is common by frequency, and nine have definitions.

How do the matching words cluster?

The opening letters do most of the sorting: SPLASHY, SPRIGHT, SPILTHS, SPARTHE, SPARTHS, and SPERTHE make up the six S-starting entries. The U group is UPRIGHT, UPTIGHT, and UPLIGHT, a trio to check when the clue allows an initial U. EPARCHY and EPARCHS supply the two E options; YPLIGHT stands alone.

The endings narrow the search another way. UPRIGHT, UPTIGHT, SPRIGHT, UPLIGHT, and YPLIGHT all end in T, the most frequent final letter in this set. SPARTHS, EPARCHS, and SPILTHS end in S; SPARTHE and SPERTHE end in E, while SPLASHY and EPARCHY end in Y.

Use the fixed letters to choose your play

EPARCHY leads the Scrabble scores at 17 points, followed by YPLIGHT at 16 and SPLASHY at 15. For a more familiar option, UPRIGHT scores 13, as do UPTIGHT, SPRIGHT, and UPLIGHT. Check the rack and board before choosing: the word's base score does not include any premium squares.

For 7-letter words with P as the 2nd letter and H as the 6th letter, the main limitation is familiarity: only one entry falls among our common words, and names such as SPERTHE may be hard to recognize. Check your game's word list before playing; Collins has all 12, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each have eight.
