Do the pronunciation match with the spelling?
The pronunciation might sometimes match with the spelling but in some cases, the pronunciation doesn't directly match the spelling but there are phonetic rules to help guide the pronunciation. We can say that the pronunciation matches its spelling but not directly. The surrounding letters with the phonetic rules might help us with the pronunciations. The pronunciation matches with its phonetic alphabets more than the real spelling. Sometimes, silent letters are involved but there are some rules with the silent letters. However, things might work out but not definitely work out as there's some rule-breaker exceptions. Spelling Rules The 31 spelling rules taught in English Logic: Rule 1 C always softens to /s/ when followed by E, I, or Y. Otherwise, C says /k/. Rule 2 G may soften to /j/ only when followed by E, I, or Y. Otherwise, G says /g/. Rule 3 English words do not end in I, U, V, or J. Rule 4 A E O U usually say their names at the end of a syllable. Rule 5 I and Y may say /ĭ/ or /ī/ at the end of a syllable. Rule 6 When a one-syllable word ends in a single vowel Y, it says /ī/. Rule 7 Y says /ē/ only at the end of a multisyllable base word. I says /ē/ at the end of a syllable that is followed by a vowel and at the end of foreign words. Rule 8 I and O may say /ī/ and /ō/ when followed by two consonants. Rule 9 AY usually spells the sound /ā/ at the end of a base word. Rule 10 When a word ends with the phonogram A, it says /ä/. A may also say /ä/ after a W or before an L. Rule 11 Q always needs a U; therefore, U is not a vowel here. Rule 12 Silent Final E Rules 12.1 The vowel says its name because of the E. 12.2 English words do not end in V or U. 12.3 The C says /s/ and the G says /j/ because of the E. 12.4 Every syllable must have a written vowel. 12.5 Add an E to keep singular words that end in the letter S from looking plural. 12.6 Add an E to make the word look bigger. 12.7 TH says its voiced sound /TH/ because of the E. 12.8 Add an E to clarify meaning. 12.9 Unseen reason. Rule 13 Drop the silent final E when adding a vowel suffix only if it is allowed by other spelling rules. Rule 14 Double the last consonant when adding a vowel suffix to words ending in one vowel followed by one consonant only if the syllable before the suffix is accented.* *This is always true for one-syllable words. Rule 15 Single vowel Y changes to I when adding any ending, unless the ending begins with I. Rule 16 Two I's cannot be next to one another in English words. Rule 17 TI, CI, and SI are used only at the beginning of any syllable after the first one. Rule 18 SH spells /sh/ at the beginning of a base word and at the end of the syllable. SH never spells /sh/ at the beginning of any syllable after the first one, except for the ending -ship. Rule 19 To make a verb past tense, add the ending -ED unless it is an irregular verb. Rule 20 -ED, past tense ending, forms another syllable when the base word ends in /d/ or /t/. Otherwise, -ED says /d/ or /t/. Rule 21 To make a noun plural, add the ending -S, unless the word hisses or changes; then add -ES. Occasional nouns have no change or an irregular spelling. Rule 22 To make a verb 3rd person singular, add the ending -S, unless the word hisses or changes; then add -ES. Only four verbs are irregular. Rule 23 Al- is a prefix written with one L when preceding another syllable. Rule 24 -Ful is a suffix written with one L when added to another syllable. Rule 25 DGE is used only after a single vowel which says its short (first) sound. Rule 26 CK is used only after a single vowel which says its short (first) sound. Rule 27 TCH is used only after a single vowel which does not say its name. Rule 28 AUGH, EIGH, IGH, OUGH. Phonograms ending in GH are used only at the end of a base word or before the letter T. The GH is either silent or pronounced /f/. Rule 29 Z, never S, spells /z/ at the beginning of a base word. Rule 30 We often double F, L, and S after a single vowel at the end of a base word. Occasionally other letters also are doubled. Rule 31 Schwa Rules 31.1 Any vowel may say one of the schwa sounds, /ŭ/ or /ĭ/, in an unstressed syllable or unstressed word. 31.2 O may also say /ŭ/ in a stressed syllable next to W, TH, M, N, or V. 31.3 AR and OR may say their schwa sound, /er/, in an unstressed syllable.
How many words have silent letters?
Relatively some words have silent letters, for example:Silent A- Adverbs ending with "ally"Some words with "ea". "Ea" usually sounds like double E or "ee" which makes a long E sound, but some words have a silent A, only the "e" is pronounced.Ex. accidentally, actually, musically, historically, basically, mentally, bear, wear, head, bread, threat, weather, feather, Heather, leather, instead, heard, etc.Silent B- Words with "mb" ending, only the "m" is pronounced.Words with "bt" ending, only the "t" is pronounced.Ex. bomb, comb, tomb, womb, crumb, thumb, climb, limb, lamb, jamb, plumb, plumber, numb, debt, doubt, etc.Remark: Subtract, obtain, Cambridge, Cambrian, etc. contains the "mb" and "bt" but the "b" is still pronounced because it's not at the end of the word.Silent C- Some words with "sc", especially at the beginning. When the "c" is followed by an E, I or Y, then the "c" would soften and make an "s" sounds. However, in the soft "c" case, if the "s" follows that "c", then the "c" would become silent as it might sound quite repetitive and the "s" is more generally prominent for this sound, so only the "s" is pronounced.Words with "cq" together, only the "q" is pronounced.Words with "cn" beginning, only the "n" is pronounced.There are some exceptions though.Ex. scissor, science, scene, scenery, scenario, scenic, scent, crescent, ascend, fascinate, muscle, descend, acquire, acquit, acquaintance, cnidarian, Antarctic, arctic, etc.Silent D- Some words with D isn't pronounced.Words with "dge" ending, the D isn't pronounced. Technically, it's like a soft "g" ending which sounds like a j However, if the "g" is only there like page, cage, rage, etc., then previous vowel will elongate due to the "e". The silent D in the "dge" ending is like a defender D which prevents the "e" from elongating the previous vowel, so it remains short.Words with "adj" beginning, the D isn't pronounced. Technically, the J can't be the consonant blend, which is the first letter in the blend, so the following letter of the J is usually a consonant. If there's only the J, then there's only one intervening consonant, which the first letter might elongate. Doubling the J might work but English words can't have double J. The silent D in the "adj" beginning is like a defender D which prevents the J-following vowel from elongating the previous consonants.Ex. sandwich, Wednesday, handsome, handkerchief, edge, hedge, ledge, pledge, ridge, bridge, badge, badger, sledge, smudge, dredge, adjacent, adjective, adjust, etc.

Why do dge ending words have silent D?
That's because it's like a defender D. "Page" and "cage" becomes a long A because there's only one intervening consonant. When the G is followed an E, I or Y, then it'll become a soft G which sounds like a J. However, English words can't end with J, which is why they use G. However, if these letters doesn't follow the G, it'll remain a hard G, which is why they put an E. However, the E can elongate the previous vowel, especially if there's only one intervening consonant. Doubling the G is another solution as it prevents the E from elongating the previous vowel but it won't work out because although if the following letters would soften the G but if the G is doubled, then it'll remain a hard G like "trigger" which would sound weird. They use a D instead, but the D is silent and it's like a defender D which prevents the E from elongating the previous vowel, so the previous vowel will remain short. These are examples of word with DGE ending: 1.) edge 2.) hedge 3.) ridge 4.) bridge 5.) fudge 6.) pledge 7.) grudge 8.) badge 9.) gadget 10.) badger 11.) dredge 12.) smudge 13.) fridge
