I words (long I) : high, sigh, light, night
AI words (long A) : straight
EI words (long A) : weigh, eight, neighbor
AU and OU words (AW) : bought, fought, caught, daughter, naughty
OU words (OW) : bough, plough
OU words (long O): dough, though
Nightlight has it twice!
Although "gh" has the sound of "f" in some words with "ough" (and "laugh"), the words though, high, and night have a silent gh, the words ghost and aghast have a silent h, and the word bigheartedseparates the pair into two syllables.
The silent letter in the word "mightier" is the "gh" in the middle of the word.
There is no silent consonant. In fact, the combination 'gh' in this case has a sound similar to the letter 'f'. However, the same combination can have different sounds in different words, like ghetto, or night and though - where it is not pronounced at all.
Like many -GHT words, both letters (GH) are unpronounced.
