    If you want to match on things like ‘WHAT H ELL’ then simply rip all the whitespace from the string so you get ‘WHATHELL’ and then look for ‘THE’

    If you don’t include those situations, then use this regex with case sensitivity turned off

    \bt\s*h\s*e\b
    

    result

    WHAT H E - fail
    The - success
    T he - success
    th E - success
    t h e - success
    the - success
    them - fail
    hasthem - fail
    has them - fail
