Solution:	(Hide)
There are many solutions, and using a word list and a simple program a complete solution is not hard to find; the problem was intended (unlike most on this site) to be solved off the top of your head, without aid of a computer. Here are the words I came up with and expected most people to find (or variations thereof): MILLILITER LIGHTHOUSE LIGHTHEARTED ICHTHYOSAUR DIPHTHONG KNIGHTHOOD EIGHTH PIQUANT ANTIQUATED RELIQUARY DRAWBACK JAWBONE JAWBREAKER LAWBREAKER STRAWBERRY But of course, there are more words that can be found: 1. I believe that milliliter is the unique word (sans its plural form) with the letter sequence illili in it. 2. There are many obscure words for hth. I will just list the roots: autochthon, chthonian, diphtheria, diphthong, eighth, exophthalmus, ichthyology, ichthyosaur, knighthood, lighthearted, monophthong, naphthol, nighthawk, ophthalmia, ophthalmology, phthalein, phthiriasis, phthisis, triphthong. 3. There are fewer words for iqua: antiquate, biquadratic, liquate, piquant, reliquary, semiquaver (and variants of those words). 4. And finally, for awb, we have: bawbee, drawback, drawbar, drawbridge, jawbone, jawbreaker, lawbreaker, rawboned, sawbuck, strawberry, strawboard.
