Sneaky silent letters make English spelling difficult! But don’t worry – our spelling activities will have you confidently spelling words with silent letters in no time.
This word list looks at words that are spelt with a silent g, for example: gnome, reign, foreign, and resign.
While, in Middle English, the g was pronounced in words like this, over time the pronunciation shifted and it became silent. Some words with silent letters were also originally borrowed from other languages.
Why not try out our spelling games? These silent g words will help you break the code in Codebreaker, beat the evil witch in Which Witch, and feed the hungry shark in Fishy Business.
