7-letter words with P as the 3rd letter and H as the 7th letter

The pattern is tighter than its letter count suggests: every match ends in H, while P must sit in the third slot. Only one of the 18 words ranks among the most common English words. You’ll see familiar-looking entries such as IMPEACH alongside rarities like ZAPTIEH, so the list is more useful for solving a specific board or clue than for everyday vocabulary.

7-letter words with P as the 3rd letter and H as the 7th letter

• There are 18 tournament-dictionary matches for the P-third, H-last pattern.
• ZAPTIAH and ZAPTIEH tie for the top score at 21 points each.
• DIPTYCH scores 18; FOPPISH and PUPFISH each score 17.
• Only one match falls within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• The pattern has 16 Collins entries, 11 NWL2023 entries, and 9 ENABLE entries.

Which pattern words score highest?

ZAPTIAH and ZAPTIEH are the scoring standouts at 21 points apiece. Both put a Z in the opening position, while the pattern still fixes P third and H last. DIPTYCH follows at 18, with FOPPISH, PUPFISH, and HIPPISH at 17 points each.

IMPEACH and APPEACH score 16 apiece, as do BOPPISH and CAPOUCH. These values make the unusual Z words attractive on a score sheet, but a high face-value total is not the same as a safe play: first confirm your game accepts the word, then consider the board squares and exposed replies.

How should you use this pattern list?

Start by checking the fixed slots, then compare the remaining letters against your rack or clue. The 18 matches are unevenly spread across dictionaries: Collins includes 16, while NWL2023 includes 11 and ENABLE includes 9. Those totals overlap, so they do not mean the lists contain separate groups of words.

Most entries are uncommon, and several—such as RAPLOCH, CAPOUCH, and ZAPTIAH—will not be familiar to many players. Check your game’s word list before committing an obscure answer. For a nearby contrast, the same P-third pattern with S at the end has 423 matches; changing the final letter from H to S opens a much larger search.
