hello
Some examples of English words with a silent P are pneumonia, pneumatic, psychic and psychiatrist.
No, the 'c' in "watching" is not silent. The 'h' changes the sound of the 'c', but it is not silent.
There are some rules to silent C: 1.) When the C is followed by an E, I or Y, then it'll become a soft C, which means the C will sound like an S. However, in the soft C case, if the S is followed by a C, then the C becomes silent. 2.) When the CQ are together, then the C becomes silent. 3.) If the N follows a C at the beginning of the word, then the C become silent. However, there are some exceptions to the silent C rule. Here are some examples of silent C: 1.) Scissor 2.) Science 3.) Ascend 4.) Descend 5.) Crescent 6.) Fascinated 7.) Scene 8.) Scenery 9.) Scenario 10.) Scent 11.) Acquire 12.) Acquit 13.) Acquaintance 14.) Muscle 15.) Cnidarian 16.) Discipline 17.) Conscious 18.) Obscene 19.) Cnidoblast

The 'c' is silent in the word 'scissor'.
Not sure which is the most prevalent, but here are some: the letter "g" which is silent when followed by an "n' at the beginning or end of words such as "gnash" and "gnome" and "benign" or resign". Not however when the syllables separate the letters, i.e., "dragnet". Another would be the silent "b" for words ending in "mb" like "bomb" "comb" Or the silent "c" in words / syllables beginning with "sc" as in "science" and "ascend" and "scissors". Seems like this might be the most frequent. And in American English, an "H" starting some words and secondary syllables, such as "honor" or "exhibit" or "exhaust" or "graham" Then there is the silent "k" when followed by "n" as in "knot, Knowledge, knives" Words ending in 'mn' -- silent 'n', like in "limn" "autumn" "condemn" Words with initial "wh" -- silent "H" -- "where, when, who" and with initial "wr" -- silent "w" -- as in "write" and 'wrench" Silent "t" for words ending in "stle" as in "castle" or "trestle"
The word faux has a silent x, pronounced [foh]. The word anxiety has a silent x,pronounced[ansiety]
