Lest you assume this hyper-consonantal configuration was rigged, I hereby provide photographic proof that this came up by chance* last night.How many words can you find?
*This blogger understands that, in the current age of photoshoppable truth, there is no such thing as photographic proof, and so she solemnly swears that she is both committed to the truth and is also a complete Photoshop novice. No alterations, including superimposed figures of the Virgin Mary, manufactured smoke, or unauthorized use of the clone tool, were made to this pure, unadulterated photo. For your enjoyment, this photo is also crop-free.

...just to name a few.
After some brief research at m-w.com, your entry, qursh, has been disqualified because you made it up, you silly boggler.
"Shh," also not found in the dictionary, has been disqualified, but I'll give you props for recognizing this commonly used onomatopoeic utterance.
As for "thy" and "nth," well done.
You get two points.
i cheated.

Wow.
I am feeling both impressed by your creative use of computers to solve real-world problems like Boggle puzzles (that actually sounds like something that could get you a good grade in a sophomore-level college class) . . . and disappointed that I didn't think of it first.
:)
