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.
