Thus it was written in the epistle of Proudfoot, Bill,
> Anyone think of a seven letter word starting with 'H' made up from the
> letters that spell SPAGHETTI

The question is somewhat ambiguous.  If you mean that there is only one S
available, only one P, etc., then no, not off hand.  If you mean that the
only letters which may be used are A, E, G, H, I, P, S and T, then here are
the three which are in my /usr/dict/words file:

hashish
heights
highest

By the by, for your amusement, here's the code.  I stuck the following four
lines onto the beginning of the words file and ran the whole thing through
perl:

while(<DATA>) {
  print if /^h[spagheti]{6}\s*$/i;
}
__END__
