The word "shark" obviously have no silent letters. There's a trick that the H might look like it's silent, but actually, the H is'nt silent because SH is a consonant digraph, which makes a deeper S sound. The single S makes a shallow S sound. The H in the consonant digraph is'nt really silent because the H is there to fuse together to make one new sound. If the H is'nt part of the consonant digraph, then the H is considered silent because the sound does'nt change, like for "rhino", the H is considered silent because RH is'nt a consonant digraph.

Obviously, "shark" have no silent letters because SH is a consonant digraph.
