WordPlay: Spelling Bee words with AUGH EIGH IGH OUGH

If you cite information from this LexiConnexxions report, please give credit and a link to this page. These reports and analyses are compiled and prepared by a human being, not a machine. Thank you.
For reasons far too complicated to explain here, a number of words in English feature one or two vowels followed by GH. And of course, these words are also in the Spelling Bee lexicon.
Being aware of how these letters are used to form Bee words can improve solving skills when the daily Bee contains these combinations: AUGH, EIGH, IGH, or OUGH.
Words in ALL CAPS are pangrams. Words marked with an asterisk have been used in at least one Spelling Bee puzzle, then subsequently disallowed; they are retained here for historical interest.
