why the pronunciation of ''oo'' in the word "blood" is different from the one in the words "wood" or "wool"?
It is difficult for me to learn the correct pronunciation in English. It seems there is no rules. Is it true? If there are rules, please teach me!

You plonker! The "oo" is pronounced the same in all those three words (blood, wood, and wool). Now stop being a fool, and go back to school, or I'll knock out a tooth.

if you look at the first letters there is nothing between the w&the oo or the L&oo in look wool wood its pronounced the same way but blood has a letter between the 1st letter&oo so it sound different!!!!!

English has words from many different languages and as a result the words that came from one language have one pronounciation for "oo" while the words from another have a different pronounciation for "oo."
