Basically, you have to learn them as you find them. The good news is, most h-words pronounce the h, and the ones that don't tend to be words adapted from French (hour, heir, honour, honesty...).

"Silent H :
H is not pronounced at the beginning of many words (the text doesn't say which are these many words!!!!). Use the article "an" with unvoiced H. Here are some of the most common: hour, honest, honor, heir, herb."
Can someone list other words with unvoiced H as a first letter?

There is no set rule.The only way is to memorize the specific words.
