Very erudite, mallyh. Thank you very much.

H is the (single) given letter & there's only one place for 'hexad' to go. After that, breaking the rest of the puzzle is fairly simple.
Names of groups can be derived from Latin or Greek:

quartet - tetrad
quintet - pentad
sextet - hexad etc.
Hexad .. 2,6,13,18,16 and Q is 17
