An old silent spelling explains some 5 letter words with H, I and T, and spotting it spares a Wordle player wasted rows.
The old spelling is a silent GH before the T, with the I second and the H fourth, which RIGHT and NIGHT both spell.
After confirming the I in the second square, a guess ending in GHT tests the remaining letters together.
