HATCH, HITCH and HUTCH in H and T Words

HATCH, HITCH and HUTCH differ only in the second box and all are ordinary words. HOTCH joins them from the O branch, which makes four words on the page sharing the same ending, so a confirmed CH at the back leaves only the vowel to decide.

  • HATCH
  • HITCH
  • HUTCH
  • HOTEL
  • HATER

The O Branch of H and T Words

HOTEL is the most common word here and it sits outside the CH group entirely, with HOTLY and HOTCH completing the branch. C and E tie for the fourth box at four words each, and H closes four of the twelve, thirty three percent, almost all of it from the CH words.

  • HOTEL
  • HOTLY
  • HATED
  • HATER
  • HATES

Nothing here repeats a letter, so a visible double rules the pattern out at once. Beyond that, guess HOTEL and let the CH group resolve itself.
