5 Letter Words With SH

381 5 letter words with sh in full, with the 36 you would actually say out loud separated from the rest.

SHORT. It is the most ordinary word here that the answer list carries, so it is the guess to make when you want to win the round rather than learn from it.

Are all of these accepted as guesses?

Yes. Every word on this list is a legal guess, including the ones that look wrong. ZHUSH and YASHT are among them. Only a smaller set sits on the answer list, and those are the ones marked in green.

Which of these would most players overlook?

ASHEN, GNASH and SHIED. All three are on the answer list, and none is a word you would reach for early, so they are worth remembering once the obvious guesses run out.
