The long O "says its name" (oh) and the short O says "aah" as in stop.

(There are R-shaped vowels considered neither long or short, but having long O sounds: the O in core and cord is a caret O or aw/or sound.)

A word with a short "o" sound is typically pronounced quickly and sounds like "ah" as in "hot," while a long "o" sound is pronounced with a stretched out "oh" sound as in "code." It is important to listen to the vowel sound in various words to determine whether it is short or long.
