G & H can't be together in a word by their opposing letter count, with G strictly less than 5 and H strictly more than 5, both of which included the two mandatory vowels.
Since C & D both had to include a G and by that, had to observe G's limiting letter count, they cannot be paired with any other consonants other than G itself.
The vowels just can't be adjacent by the conditions itself.
Answer = F & H is possible to be adjacent.
