When do you use ch vs tch as the last letters in a word?

Just to make it clear, I don't think there are any 'rules' to answer this question.
I think we just have to check the spelling, maybe using a dictionary.

As a matter of fact there is a rule it goes like this.  In a 1 syllable word with 1 short vowel imediately followed by the sound "ch" spell it -tch

Except much, such, which, rich, and maybe a few others, but I think that's the complete list.
