Take the spelling test and see how well you know these words.
In English, the ue spelling pattern is often used to represent the long /u/ sound. This sound is commonly heard in words like blue, clue, and rescue.
When spelling the long /u/ sound with the ue pattern, remember that it is usually found at the end of a word after a consonant. For example, in the word cue, the consonant c is followed by the ue pattern.
