The pattern is _R__H__: R anchors the second slot, while H lands two places before the end. Fourteen entries rank as common by frequency, so the group mixes recognizable forms such as brushes and freshly with less familiar tournament vocabulary. Use the fixed letters to narrow a rack or solve a crossing clue, then check the remaining slots against the candidates.

7-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and H as the 5th letter

  • Exactly 95 entries match the pattern, with R second and H fifth.
  • B starts 22 matches, more than any other opening letter; T follows with 15.
  • S closes 28 words, while D closes 15 and R closes 13.
  • Collins accepts 93 entries, compared with 73 in NWL2023 and 66 in ENABLE.
  • Seventy-five of the 95 entries have definitions.

Which familiar words fit this letter pattern?

Brother, graphic, prophet, crashed, crushed, and freshly are recognizable candidates. The opening-letter spread is lopsided: B accounts for 22 matches, while T and F contribute 15 and 14. Start with B when your clue leaves the first tile open, but keep C and W in play; each begins nine words.

The final letter narrows the field differently. S closes 28 entries, nearly twice D’s 15; familiar forms include crashes, brushes, and crushes. That strong S ending is a useful rack clue, but other candidates end in D, R, or N.

Test the final tile instead of assuming the answer is plural.

Which matching words score highest in Scrabble?

For 7-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and H as the 5th letter, droshky leads the Scrabble scores at 18 points; brachah follows at 17. Freshly, gryphon, brecham, and wrythen each score 16. Those totals come from their less common letters, not length alone, so check each tile’s value before choosing a play.

Seventy-five entries have definitions, but only 14 rank as common by frequency. Unfamiliar words can still be tournament-legal, and the dictionary counts range from 66 in ENABLE to 93 in Collins. Check your game’s word list before committing an obscure play.

Questions people ask

Which familiar words fit the R-and-H pattern?
Brother, graphic, crashed, crushed, prophet, and freshly all fit the seven-letter pattern. They are recognizable options in a group where only 14 entries rank as common by frequency, so expect plenty of less familiar candidates as you work through the remaining positions.
What is the highest-scoring word in this group?
Droshky scores 18 points, the top value among these matches. Brachah follows at 17, while freshly, gryphon, brecham, and wrythen each score 16. Check your game’s dictionary before playing an unfamiliar high-value word, because matching entries do not appear in every lexicon.
Which letters close the most R-second, H-fifth words?
S closes 28 of the 95 matches, D closes 15 and R closes 13. Crashes, brushes and crushes show the S group, while crashed and brushed show D and fresher shows R. A known final S is the strongest single clue.
