7-letter words with I as the 3rd letter and H as the 5th letter

Which words fit this letter pattern?

Start with recognizable forms: neither, flights, heights, knights, and weights all place I third and H fifth. Weighed also fits, while weighty changes the ending and earns a spot among the higher-scoring options.

The pattern produces many plural-looking endings. Of the 88 entries, 43 end in S; examples include flights, knights, and quiches. Just 15 end in R, including slither and thither, so checking the final letter can narrow a rack quickly.

Scores, dictionary coverage, and a useful limitation

QUICHED leads the scores at 22 points, followed by QUICHES at 21 and QUIGHTS at 20. Those unusual Q words outscore familiar weighty and flighty, both of which score 17. A high tile score does not make an entry easy to spot or acceptable in every game.

Dictionary coverage differs: 83 words appear in Collins, 59 in NWL2023, and 51 in ENABLE. Only 6 entries are common by frequency, so expect plenty of specialist terms; check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar answer.
