What is the difference between an oo and a yoo vowel sound?
The long OO sound is the sound of a long U, as seen in flute and dune (floot, doon). This is an exception to the concept that long vowels "say their name." The YOO form may be considered just a variation of the long OO, or as a separate vowel sound.The long YOO (and a possible short YOO) sounds like the letter U, either because it is beginning a word (unique, uniform) or because certain vowels come before the long U. You can hear the YOO in cute, mute, mule, feud, fuel, pupil, and pure. Most dictionaries will use a consonant Y before the OO or long U to indicate this pronunciation.Some dictionaries avoid the distinction by using an umlaut U instead of a long U to indicate OO.* The reason many vowel lists avoid pairing the OO and YOO sounds is that saying "long U" can be confusing where there are both OO and YOO versions of words: cute/coot, mute/moot, feud/food, fuel/fool.

What is the long U sound?
The long U sound can be defined two ways. One is by the sound of its name, the YOO sound heard in unit, uniform, cute, mule, pupil, and human. However, the U has a long OO sound in words such as dune, flute, chute, fruit, and suit, which is the same sound heard in cool, moon, and tomb. So the long U can be either a YOO or an OO, where the YOO is an OO with a consonant Y in front of it. The difficulty with making both of these the "long U" is that there are word pairs that have both sounds: cute/coot, mute/moot, feud/food, and fuel/fool. Most dictionaries do not use the ū sign for this reason.
