The short I is practically always spelled with an I or a Y, but there are some words with other spellings that may use the pronunciation, especially unstressed E words.

I words : big, hid, sit

Y words : hymn, cyst, rhythm

UI words: build, guilt

EE words : been

EI words : forfeit, foreign

A words : shortage, manage

Words beginning with E or having a consonant E

- emotion, elusive, expense (The E is not stressed in context.)

- became, relate, secure, molecule (first E), basket, hatred

*The AI in words such as chieftain are more properly a schwa than an i sound.
