Words with consonant blends are easier to spell when they only have a single consonant. In general, they can only have to three consonants.
Almost any word you can think of that has a double consonant preceeded by a vowel will have a short vowel sound, just as almost any word with a single consonant after the vowel will make the vowel a long sound. A few words that have a short vowel sound followed by a double consonant are: batter, better, bitter, butter, hemming, teller, messier and letter.
When adding a suffix to a word, the final consonant is doubled in cases where the word ends in a single consonant followed by a single vowel. Examples include "stop" becoming "stopping" and "run" becoming "running."
