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.

- S closes 28 words, while D closes 15 and R closes 13.

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.
