Try this array formula
=CHAR(MODE(IF(A2:H2="","",CODE(A2:H2))))
...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Or this non-array
=INDEX(A2:H2,MODE(MATCH(A2:H2,A2:H2,0)))
