The word "pulled" is considered to have one syllable because the "ll" in the middle is a digraph, which represents a single sound /l/. Despite the double letters, it is pronounced as one unit within the word.
A final consonant syllable is a syllable that ends with a consonant sound. For example, in the word "cat," the final syllable is "at" and it ends with the consonant sound /t/.
To double the final consonant on a suffix when adding a word ending, the word must have one syllable, have a single vowel before the consonant, and end with a single consonant preceded by a single vowel. The suffix being added should begin with a vowel.
