Confusion between ie and ei vowel pairs is so common that one of the most popular grammar catchphrases of all time deals with this very topic: "i before e except after c, and in words that say a like in neighbor and weigh".

While there are many exceptions to that rule (and there is more to that rule that what we quoted above), it's a start at least. Nine out of the 10 words in this pattern fit the rule from that common rhyme, with the outlier being the word height.
