They are called "closed syllables" because the syllable ends with the consonant sound.
The 6 types of syllables are:
Closed syllable (short vowel sound)
Open syllable (ends with a long vowel sound)
Vowel-consonant-E syllable (silent E makes preceding vowel long)
Vowel team syllable (two vowels paired to make one new sound, e.g. mouth, taut)
Consonant +L + E syllable (creates a trailing L, uhl, sound e.g. handle, puzzle)
R-controlled syllable (vowel followed by R changes the pronunciation)
A syllable with a short vowel in the middle is called a closed syllable. In a closed syllable, the vowel is typically followed by one or more consonants, which helps make the vowel sound short.
