7-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and H as the 5th letter

This pattern produces 27 seven-letter entries, but none ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. SYNCHRO and PYRRHIC are recognizable examples in a largely uncommon group. Their unusual letter combinations make this clue more about matching fixed positions than guessing everyday vocabulary.

7-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and H as the 5th letter

• Exactly 27 tournament-dictionary words have Y second and H fifth.
• Collins includes 26 matches, compared with 19 in NWL2023 and 17 in ENABLE.
• N begins nine words; L and S each begin six.
• D is the most common final letter, appearing six times; C appears four times.

How rare is this Y-and-H pattern?

Only 27 words fit this Y/H pattern, versus 170 when A takes the second position and H stays fifth. Keeping Y second but changing the fifth letter to I yields 98 matches, making the Y-and-H combination especially restrictive.

Starting letters cluster around N, L, and S: N begins nine entries, while L and S each begin six. Endings are more spread out: D closes six words, C closes four, and L, S, and T each close three.

A, E, and I each appear as the final letter once. That gives you three uncommon endings to check if the more frequent D or C does not fit.

SYNCHRO and SYNCHED share the SYNCH- opening, while PYRRHIC and MYRRHIC share the unusual -RRHIC sequence. Only 22 of the 27 entries have definitions.

No word here qualifies as common by the stated frequency threshold. Dictionary coverage also varies, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.
