Which familiar words fit the R-H pattern?

ALRIGHT and UPRIGHT make the fixed letters easy to spot: both put R third and H sixth. ATROPHY and PIRANHA fit too, though their endings and overall sounds are quite different. Earache is another recognizable match, while BORSCHT gives the pattern a less familiar shape.

The ending counts explain why so many results look plural: 20 finish in S. Seven end in E, while A and T each appear as the final letter of 6 words. That makes the last tile a useful filter after you have placed R and H, especially when an S-ending candidate seems likely.

How do these R-third, H-sixth words score?

WORKSHY leads the scoring examples at 20 points. JARRAHS and CORYPHE each score 17, followed by THRASHY and KIRBEHS at 16. If your rack contains the right letters, WORKSHY is the standout face-value play; its unusual spelling makes it worth checking before you commit.

The main limitation is vocabulary: only 2 of the 48 matches are common, so many candidates will feel specialized. The totals combine words accepted by at least one tournament dictionary, not a promise that every game accepts every entry. Check your game's word list when a rare match decides the play.
