The letter O can have 3 or 4 sounds by itself, and more in combinations with other vowels.

The basic O sounds are

long O - oh, as in go, no, boat, and note

short O - aah, as in lot, hop, and pod

caret O - the or/aw sound, as in lore and floor (similar to law and flaw)

O is also found as

short U - as in come and some

short OO - as in good and foot

long U (long OO/ long YOO) - as in moon, dune, Flute, suit / cute, mule, view

the OY/OI sound - as in boy, point
