The short /u/ sound is typically represented by the letter u. You can find this spelling in words such as under, umpire, and lunch. Understanding this spelling rule is essential for learning many English words.
Our collection of u words features everyday terms, like hungry and puppy, which illustrate how this sound functions in different contexts. Familiarising yourself with these examples will enhance your reading and writing skills.
