Explore this spelling list: igh words. These activities are designed to help you ace spelling igh words. Choose between our online games and printable spelling lists using the buttons above.
The igh spelling pattern is used to represent long /i/ sound in English. You will find this pattern in words like high, sigh, and night. The igh combination is commonly used in the middle or at the end of a word.
When spelling words with the igh pattern, remember that the three-letter combination replaces the single letter i. This helps differentiate between similar-sounding words, such as right and write. Pay attention to the gh because these letters are part of the spelling pattern even though they don’t contribute to the sound.
