5 Letter Words with S as 2nd and H as 3rd Letter

Only seven words hold S second and H third, and most of them are built on one short stem.

The ASH Words Are Most of the Page

ASHED, ASHEN, ASHES and ASHET all run ASH and change only the last letter. A opens four of the seven, more than any other letter.

ASHEN and ASHES are the two in general use. ASHED is a verb form and an ASHET is a large serving plate in Scots and northern English.

USHER Is the Word Outside the ASH Family

It works as both noun and verb and is the entry most likely to be wanted after ASHES. It is also the only one here that opens with U.

E Almost Always Follows the H

E takes the fourth box in five of the seven, leaving A with the rest. Only two letters appear there, which makes that box close to decided.
