What about vowels? I have a list:
Silent A:In "ea" words when it makes the short or long e sound:Leaf, head, bread, stealth, read, knead
Silent O:In "ou" words where it's pronounced like a short or long u:Couple, you, cousin, rough, coupon
Silent U:Build
Does anyone have any more? I can't think of any.
Can every letter be used as a silent letter?
