5 Letter Words With the Letter H with answers like ABHOR, AHEAD, ALPHA

An H in a guess raises a question of partners, since in 5 letter words with H the letter commonly keeps company with a consonant.

Its common partner is C, S, T or W, and the H most commonly comes second, straight after it, as in THEIR and WHICH.

For that reason a yellow H early in a round argues for the second square, narrowing the first to those partners.
