Hi friends,

Which English words can have their letters removed and still keep their original pronunciation?

One of these unique words is ‘Queue’.

After removing, ‘u and e’ it still retains its original pronunciation.

I am looking for more such words. Please help me to find these?

lol.....

It would only be words that have the same sound as the letters of the alphabet, so just work your way through

I'll start you off with bee.

The expression, "gee" = G.

"elle" = L

pee = P

are = R

tee/tea = T

you = U

Why = Y.
