Words ending in H are common in English, especially in specific digraphs: -SH (FISH, WASH, CRUSH), -CH (LUNCH, MATCH, BEACH), -TH (BATH, PATH, BOTH), -GH (LAUGH, ROUGH, COUGH, but usually silent). Standalone -H endings are rarer (AH, OH, EH).
In Scrabble, H-ending words are valuable because H is worth 4 points. A short H-ender in the right position can score 20+ points. Short H-enders: AH, EH, OH, UH, SH, HAH, HUH, NTH, PHT.
The -ISH suffix (FOOLISH, GREENISH, WHITISH) is the most productive H-ending suffix in English. It turns nouns and adjectives into adjectives meaning “somewhat.” This gives H-endings a disproportionate role in English adjective vocabulary.
Our dictionary lists 3,283 English words ending in H. This is roughly 0.9% of all words in our dictionary. H has a Scrabble value of 4 points.
Ranked by raw Scrabble value, CHROMOXYLOGRAPH comes in first at 38 points. The H-final letter landing on a premium tile pushes the total higher.
The minimum length is AH at 2 letters. Short suffix words are Scrabble hook-play staples: they extend board plays with minimal rack commitment.
