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."
A digraph is short for directed graph.
A split digraph is when a vowel digraph is split by a consonant, such as the 'e' at the end of a word making the vowel say its name as in "time" or "hope." It occurs when an 'e' at the end of a word changes the short vowel sound to a long vowel sound.

A consonant digraph is a combination of two consonant letters that together represent a single sound. Examples include "th," "ch," and "sh." The letters in a digraph work together to create a unique sound that is different from the individual sounds of the letters.
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."

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.
The word digraph is a noun. The plural form is digraphs.
