The word "think" has a "k" at the end instead of "ck" because it follows the phonetic rules of English spelling. The "k" represents the voiceless velar plosive sound /k/ that occurs after the "n" sound, while "ck" is typically used after short vowels. In "think," the "i" is a short vowel sound, but the preceding "th" alters the spelling convention. Thus, "k" is used to maintain the correct pronunciation and adhere to English spelling patterns.
The phonogram ck is used for the sound /k/ at the end of a root after a short vowel; e.g., rock, duck.
No words start with "ck" but a lot of words end with this particular combination of letters, such as brick, hijack, frock, luck, and check.
The ck digraph is a highly reliable digraph. The letter c in the digraph is silent. It appears in the final position in words, as in duck, or in the medial position, as in chicken. The ck digraph can be confusing to children because the c is silent. The ck digraph makes the /k/ sound. The consonants k, as in bike, q as in bouquet, ch as in chaos, and c, as in camp also make the /k/ sound.
Yes, typically the combination "ck" is used at the end of a word when the preceding vowel is short. This spelling pattern helps to indicate the preceding vowel sound as short, rather than long. Examples include "back," "kick," and "luck."

The use of "ck" for the "k" sound in these languages is a historical spelling convention that evolved over time. In Old English and Old High German, the combination "ck" was used to represent the "k" sound, and this convention continued in modern English, German, and some Scandinavian languages. It is a way to differentiate the "k" sound from the "c" sound when followed by certain vowels.
