About the word list: Spelling longer ff words

In this word list, we will explore longer words that contain the double ff spelling. The same rules that apply to shorter words also extend to these longer examples.

When a word has the f sound following a short vowel, you should double the f. However, if the f sound is followed by a consonant, it should not be doubled.

For instance, in coffee, the f follows the short /o/ sound, so is doubled.

As you engage with these activities, pay close attention to how these rules work and practise using these words correctly in your writing.

coffee Do you like cream in your coffee?
toffee She loves sticky toffee pudding.
coffin The coffin was lowered into the grave.
muffin Would you like a chocolate muffin?
suffer I suffer from asthma.
boffin He prided himself as a wartime research boffin.
different In Britain, some spellings are different from the USA.
mastiff She took her mastiff for a walk.
saffron The curry was spiced using saffron.
