About this word list ▼
About this word list ▲
The /f/ sound is usually spelt with an f, or, if after a short vowel sound, the letters ff .
However, have you ever noticed that some words, like phone and alphabet, are pronounced with an f sound but are spelt with the letter combination ph?
This unusual spelling can be traced back to origins in Ancient Greek, where the letter phi (Φ) represented the f sound. Over time, this Ancient Greek influence found its way into the English language, giving us the ph spelling pattern.
As you become a more confident speller, you will begin to notice that this spelling pattern often appears in words which share the same Ancient Greek root, for example: photograph, photocopy, and photosynthesis all contain the root photo which is spelt using the letters ph.
