That fixed pattern leaves a compact search: every match has R in position two and H in position seven; B and G each begin five entries, while P and T each begin three; “Triumph” and “breadth” are among just two words classed as common, so the matches mix recognizable vocabulary with specialist forms; Use the letter positions to narrow a rack or solve a crossing clue.

At a glance: the R-and-H pattern

  • Twenty-one tournament-dictionary entries match R in slot two and H at the end.
  • All 21 end in H; the last-letter clue does no further sorting.
  • B and G tie as the leading first letters, with five matches apiece.
  • P and T each start three matches; C starts two.
  • Only two entries meet the common-word cutoff: triumph and breadth.

Which 7-letter words have R second and H last?

“Triumph” and “breadth” are the clearest everyday anchors, while “greyish” and “grayish” offer two spellings with the same fixed letters. “Brutish” and “prudish” also fit, but most of the 21 matches are not common vocabulary.

Start with recognizable forms when checking a clue, then test less familiar options against crossing letters. “Prewash” is another candidate, though only 15 of the 21 matches are defined entries. A dictionary lookup will not settle every possibility, so use the crossing pattern too.

Which matching words score highest in Scrabble?

“Brachah” tops the score ranking at 17 points before board premiums; “prewash” follows at 15. “Triumph,” “greyish,” “grayish,” “craunch,” and “braunch” each score 14, while “breadth” and “prudish” score 13.

The highest face value belongs to “brachah,” a less familiar play than “triumph.” Treat the score as a rack opportunity, not proof that every game accepts the word. Collins includes all 21 matches, compared with 15 in NWL2023 and 13 in ENABLE.

The final H is a tight constraint: with R in slot two, 606 words end in S, but only 21 end in H. To loosen the clue, compare R-second words ending in G (116) or T (128) before changing the second-letter position.

Questions people ask

What are some common words with R second and H last?
“Triumph” and “breadth” are the two matches classed as common. “Greyish,” “grayish,” “brutish,” and “prudish” also fit the letter pattern, but they are not counted among the common entries. Check the crossing letters when a familiar word does not fit your clue.
What is the highest-scoring R-second, H-last word?
“Brachah” scores 17 points and leads the matching words in the score ranking. “Prewash” is next at 15, followed by several words at 14, including “triumph” and “greyish.” Those are face-value scores before any premiums on the board.
Do all word-game dictionaries accept these 7-letter words?
No. Collins lists all 21 matches, while NWL2023 lists 15 and ENABLE lists 13. That difference matters most for unfamiliar forms such as “brachah” or “craunch.” Check your game's word list before playing a candidate whose acceptance is uncertain.
