The word often is an antonym (opposite) of seldom, and has a silent 't'.
"Often" is properly pronounced with the "T" being silent; i.e. "offen". Just as "Soft" with its enunciated "T" becomes "soften" with a silent "T", so too, "oft" yields "often" with a silent "T". Recently, people have begun to enunciate the "T", (figuring it must be in there for a reason), resulting in the mispronunciation "off-ten". But all this is temporary. Soon, dictionaries will tell us that "off-ten" is "variant pronunciation", then an "accepted variant pronunciation" until finally it becomes the "real" pronunciation. So if you pronounce it "off-ten" and someone gripes you about it, don't sweat it -- you're on the leading edge!
Many sources believe that pronouncing the T (off-ten) is an overcorrection (or an affectation), and that the correct pronunciation is with a silent T to rhyme with "soften." Both pronunciations are considered acceptable. In the US, however, the silent T pronunciation (of-fen) is preferred by a majority of English speakers.
