Ah, what a delightful question! Yes, there are indeed two words in the English language that have a silent "w." One is "wrist," where the "w" is pronounced like an "r," and the other is "wrestle," where the "w" is silent and the word is pronounced as "resle." Isn't language just fascinating?

In English, the letter "w" can sometimes be silent in words borrowed from other languages, like "sword" or "answer". Similarly, in some dialects or accents, the "w" in words like "wreck" or "write" may be pronounced more softly or skipped altogether.
Some words that start with a silent "b" include: subtle, thumb, and knob.
