morewords.com lists 104 such words, which I have regrouped by what precedes that final e in the root (if anything).
Note that MOST of these are NOT instances of "silent e", but of e's that are pronounced, either by themselves of in combination with other vowels (a,e,i,o,u).
-ae (3)
gaeing, haeing, spaeing
-e (11)
anteing, being,chasseing, deleing, flambeing, glaceing, sabeing, sauteing, viseing
inbeing, nonbeing
-ee (44)
agreeing, chivareeing, congeeing, cooeeing, decreeing, disagreeing, dreeing, emceeing, farseeing, feeing, filagreeing, filigreeing, fleeing, foreseeing, freeing, fricasseeing, garnisheeing, geeing, gratineeing, greeing, guaranteeing, jeeing, kneeing, leveeing, outseeing, overseeing, peeing, preeing, pureeing, razeeing, refereeing, reseeing, seeing, shivareeing, sightseeing, skeeing, squeegeeing, squilgeeing, teeing, treeing, trusteeing, unfreeing, unseeing, weeweeing
-ie (10)
birdieing, boogieing, dieing, gieing, hieing, hogtieing, pieing, sortieing, stymieing, tieing
-oe (10)
canoeing, gumshoeing, hoeing, horseshoeing, reshoeing, shoeing, snowshoeing, tippytoeing, tiptoeing, toeing
-ue (10)
appliqueing, blueing, clueing, cueing, glueing, queueing, rogueing, segueing, trueing, vogueing
-ye (4)
dyeing, eyeing
overdyeing, redyeing
And here are the rest of them. Note that most of these are spelled with an e so that they cannot be confused with other words, e.g., "singeing" vs. "singing", "longeing" vs. "longing"
-we (1)
aweing (OR awing, but that can be a-wing, meaning 'flying')
-ge (11)
ageing, unageing, bingeing, longeing, lugeing, singeing, springeing, swingeing, tingeing, twingeing, whingeing
