Yes — "said" is one of the most common Dolch sight words, usually taught in Kindergarten or First Grade. It's a sight word because its spelling doesn't match its sound: it's pronounced "sed", not "sayd".
She said hello to her new friend.
"Said" is the past tense of "say", but its vowel sound doesn't follow regular phonics rules — the "ai" here sounds like a short "e", not the long "a" sound "ai" usually makes (as in "rain" or "paid"). Because no phonics rule predicts this pronunciation, children need to memorize "said" as a whole word rather than sound it out.
Point out that "said" is a rule-breaker — some kids find it easier to remember when you tell them it's one of the trickiest words in the whole list, almost like a secret code.
