Which 7-letter words have R first and H sixth?

The ten matches are RAUNCHY, RIKISHI, RELIGHT, RUPIAHS, REFIGHT, RICKSHA, RHONCHI, RELACHE, RESIGHT, and RIKISHA. Each keeps H fixed in the sixth position, leaving five letters between the opening R and that H.

The endings narrow the choices further: three finish in T, two in A, and two in I. RELIGHT, REFIGHT, and RESIGHT form the T-ending group; RUPIAHS ends in S, while RAUNCHY ends in Y. Use those final letters alongside the fixed positions when a crossword or rack clue gives you both.

How to use 7-letter words with R first and H sixth

RICKSHA is the standout scoring play at 16 points, with RAUNCHY and RHONCHI next at 15 each. RIKISHI, REFIGHT, and RIKISHA each score 14. The opening R and sixth-position H stay constant, so compare the middle letters before choosing a candidate for a scoring lane.

For a less specialized board play, RELIGHT and RESIGHT score 11 apiece; both trade the high-scoring feel of RICKSHA for a more recognizable word shape. The small set is a constraint, not a promise that every option will fit your game: dictionary coverage differs, with Collins listing all 10 and NWL2023 listing 9. Check your game's word list before committing.
