A digraph blend is when two consonants are paired together to create a sound that blends them together. A couple of English examples are "ch" and "th."
The "sc" in "scale" is considered a digraph because the two letters, "s" and "c," combine to represent one sound (/sk/). A blend consists of two or more consonants that each keep their individual sounds, such as "st" in "stop."
Two consonants that blend together and lose their own individual sounds and create a new unique sound. for example: ch, sh, th chair, shape, though

The S is probably the most suitable letter for the first letter in a certain beginning consonant blend. With the "sC" format (The "C" means "consonant"), there are various options to link the first S with a beginning consonant blend. Here are the variable options for the consonant blends: sc sch (Note: CH is a consonant digraph with the unvoiced J sound) sf sk sl sm sn sp sq sr st sw There's something fascinating about the first S beginning consonant. This consonant blend type can be put into a triple blend with the "sCC" format. Here are some examples of triple blends: scl scr sfl sfr skl skr spl spr str stw Trivia with First S Beginning Consonant Blend: Firstly, there's a fun trick with the SC blend. Whenever the C/G is followed by an E, I, or Y, then they'll soften into an S/J sound. However, if the soft C is combined into an SC blend with the "SC+E, I, Y" spelling format, then the C becomes silent and we just pronounce the S like it was an individual consonant rather than a blend. During the SC blend, the only situation when the C is pronounced is during the hard C case, which is when the following letter is anything else. There are some rule-breakers exceptions like "muscle", in which the C is silent despite that the SC blend is in a hard C case with the following letters not a softener. Secondly, the CH is consonant digraph that sounds like an unvoiced J like chair, chain, chart, chop, etc. Sometimes, the CH won't make the unvoiced J sound, but they'll remain the normal C sound, which is the K sound like character, chemical, chorus, cholera, etc. In this case, if there's an SCH blend, but the CH digraph remains the normal C sound, which is the K sound, then we pronounce it as the SC blend, and these examples include school, schedule, scheme, schooner, etc. Thirdly, there's a fun trick, which is there are several consonant blends which can both the beginning and ending blend, which includes, SC, SCH, SK, SP, ST, etc. consonant blends. Technically speaking, the S is probably the most suitable first letter in a certain beginning consonant blend as there are quite many various options to link with another consonant to form a blend. The C also have quite various options but some bonds like the CF, CM, CN, CP, CT, etc. can't be a beginning consonant blend, therefore the C doesn't work very suitably as S. The S also have some fun tricks with their beginning consonant blends, which is that their blends can be tripled and there are several consonant blends which can be both a beginning and an ending blend. That means that the S should be the most suitable first letter in the beginning consonant blend.
I'm not 100% sure and am happy to be corrected, but this is my understanding of it: Blends are combinations of consonants where you can still hear the two separate sounds, eg. br, cr, pl. This seems counterintuitive to me, as 'blend' implies that you mixing something together so that it is indistinguishable, but apparently that's what a blend is. Digraphs are where two letters are used to represent a single sound - sh, th, wh, ch.
