Every 5-letter word in our dictionary that begins with CH. This length-locked prefix list is narrower than our general “words starting with CH” hub, so you can study exact slot sizes without wading through longer entries.
Quick stats: 190 total words, 5-letter average length, 12.1-point mean score.
At 190 words, this list covers common playable words alongside lesser-known entries accepted in competitive Scrabble. Scrabble players will notice 31 words carrying Q, X, Z, J, or K — letters that separate casual players from competitive ones. Watch for recurring suffixes like -CK, -MP, -NG, -ACE when planning hooks and parallel plays. The highest-scoring word shown is chizz at 28 points. Wordle players can use this list to build a mental model of valid pattern words before guessing — especially when narrowing by known greens and yellows. Words with Friends shares most of these entries; the average score of 12.1 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.3, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.

High-score density makes this page ideal for tournament warm-ups: scan the stats block, then quiz yourself on the five highest entries without looking at the list. About 16% of sampled words include a high-value letter (Q, X, Z, J, or K) — useful when planning premium-square plays.
Prefix-locked length lists train slot-filling for crosswords and Wordle. Start with the highest-scoring opener, then drill hooks that add one letter before the prefix.
