You forgot some consonant clusters: These words start with two consonants, but one consonant is silent. WR - wrong GN - gnaw GH - ghost KN - know PN - pneumonia PS - psychology PT - pterodactyl When a word starts with the letters WH, the letter H can be silent and sometimes the letter W instead. WH - white, whole The letters PH also make one sound and that is like letter F, and there can also be the letters R or L after them at the beginning of a word. PH - phone PHR - phrase PHL - phlegm The letters CH can not only have the /tʃ/ sound, they can also have the /k/ sound in some words like "character" and the /ʃ/ sound in some words like "chef", and when there is a letter L or R after them at the start of a word they can only have the /k/ sound.
