Words with the letter H

The letter H is a valuable consonant in Scrabble, worth 4 points, which makes it one of the higher-value tiles that can really boost your score. To play H effectively, it’s important to know a variety of words containing this letter, especially shorter ones like ha, he, hi, and ho, which are useful for quick placements in tight spaces. Placing the H on double or triple letter score squares can significantly increase its point value. Combining H with vowels often creates common and versatile words such as hat, hit, hot, and her, giving you plenty of scoring options.

Another great strategy when using the letter H is to build upon existing words by adding H as a prefix or suffix, or by forming parallel words to rack up multiple points. Words like hash, hook, and hush are excellent for maximizing scoring opportunities, especially if played on premium squares. Familiarity with two- and three-letter H words also helps in tight board situations where space is limited. By strategically playing the letter H, you can control key areas of the board and boost your overall Scrabble game.
