7-letter words with S as the 3rd letter and H as the 6th letter

The 11-word set mixes familiar insight with less common entries such as basoche and cosechs. Collins accepts all 11 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include eight. Only one qualifies as common by the word-frequency measure, so a pattern match is not automatically an everyday word.

At a glance: the S-third, H-sixth pattern

• Eleven tournament-dictionary entries fit the pattern, and Collins includes all eleven.
• ENABLE and NWL2023 each contain eight of the matches.
• Only insight meets the common-word cutoff among the eleven.
• Seven end in S, three end in T, and basoche ends in E.
• Josephs leads the Scrabble values at 19 points.

Which starting and ending letters appear most?

Two matches begin with B, two with C, and two with T; the other five start with I, J, K, R, or U. That spread gives you several possible first letters when the fixed S and H slots are already confirmed.

The ending is more lopsided: seven words finish in S, compared with three ending in T and one in E. Insight, resight, and unsight share the T ending, while josephs and kasbahs show two of the S-ending options.

How do the top scores and dictionary counts compare?

Josephs scores 19 points, three more than kasbahs at 16. Casbahs, basoche, and cosechs each score 14, so the top names are not simply variations of one familiar word. Treat those values as a starting point, then check the board for premium squares.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins has all 11 matches, but ENABLE and NWL2023 have eight apiece. The set contains 10 defined words, yet just one is common. Check the word list used in your game before relying on a less familiar entry.

For a quick recognition check, insight is the standout everyday word; josephs and kasbahs are the score leaders. The pattern is therefore better for narrowing a precise letter clue than for predicting a familiar answer.
