The silent letter in "wrestling" is the "w." The word is pronounced as "res-ling," with the "w" being unvoiced and not affecting the pronunciation. This silent letter is common in several other words as well, such as "write" and "wrist."
In one pronunciation (mem-reez) the O is silent. In the other (mem-uh-reez) it is not.The I could be considered "silent" because the vowel pair IE is pronounced E.
Oh, dude, the letter "D" is silent in "emergency." It's just hanging out there, not making a peep. Like, it's probably off taking a nap or something while the other letters do all the work. So yeah, next time you say "emergency," just remember to give a little shout out to the silent "D."
In words starting with pt-, the p is silent (as pterygium). In words starting with PS-, also the p is silent (psycho-<whatever> or pseudo-<whatever>). In phthisis the pH is silent. I seem to be stuck on the letter "p" right now, but I am sure there are words with other silent letters.
The final E is silent, but does not make the other E a long vowel. (There are two silent consonants as well, the K and the D.)
There are no commonly used words in English where the letter "o" is silent. However, there may be some words borrowed from other languages, like "doux" in French, where the "x" is pronounced instead of "ou".
The silent letter in "gnarled" is the "g." In this word, the "g" is followed by the letter "n," which creates a unique sound where the "g" is not pronounced. This silent letter is a common occurrence in English words and can affect pronunciation and spelling.
A waste product that a plant releases after it makes food is oxygen. Other organisms depend on this oxygen to survive.

Silent Letters are called just that, but if you want to be specific, there are different kinds of silent letters. 'Inert' letters are leftover from when a word is shortened. For example, you do not sound the 'n' in 'damn', but you do in 'damnation'. 'Empty' letters are never sounded at all, like the 'b' in 'subtle'. There are other kinds too.
I think it is the letter b!
