That fixed SH pair leaves room for a mix of familiar words and rarer finds. FASHION, FISHING, CUSHION, and ONSHORE all match, but only 16 entries rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words. Use the first and last letters to narrow the pattern when the middle pair is already known.

Quick facts about the SH pattern

  • The pattern has 241 seven-letter matches across at least one tournament dictionary.
  • CASHBOX scores 21 points, the highest score among the listed examples.
  • B begins 29 matches and M begins 28, making them the leading first letters.
  • S ends 65 words; G is next, with 40.
  • Collins includes 235 matches, while NWL2023 includes 171 and ENABLE includes 158.

Which first and last letters narrow the search?

Start with B or M if you have a known first tile: those groups contain 29 and 28 words. U starts 19 matches, and R starts 18. The difference between B and M is only one word, so either is a strong first-letter lead.

For the final tile, check S before G: 65 matches end in S, against 40 ending in G. BISHOPS, FISHERS, and WASHERS illustrate that frequent S ending. The neighboring pattern with T in the fourth position is larger, at 476 matches.

7-letter words with S as the 3rd letter and H as the 4th letter

CASHBOX leads at 21 points. YASHMAK, BASHLYK, FISHWAY, and FISHIFY each score 19, ahead of GOSHAWK, JOSHING, and several others at 18. The strongest scores come from less familiar words, while FASHION and FISHING are easier to recognize.

Only 16 matches meet the frequency threshold for common English, although 190 have definitions. Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins has 235 matches, but ENABLE has 158. Treat the full set as a search pool, not a promise that every word will be accepted in your game.

Questions people ask

Which letters most often begin this seven-letter pattern?
