Words that double the consonant before adding "ed" typically include those that have a single vowel followed by a single consonant at the end, and where the final syllable is stressed. Examples include "stop" becoming "stopped" and "plan" becoming "planned." This rule helps maintain the pronunciation and integrity of the original word.
