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.
