I would like an example with every letter of the alphabet from A-Z. Example: tsunami, knife, wrinkle, euphoria
Don't use these though for answers. Thanks for the help. I am doing a research paper and would like to see how many words there are that people can come up with.
Thanks

Many examples here:

Silent letters at the beginnings of words like knife or wrinkle are actually digraph spellings. In other words, kn spells /n/ and wr spells /r/ in many words.

argument, eucalyptus, gnome, honorable, knock, llama (has 2 l's, but only one is pronounced), mnemonic, oesophagus, pneumatic, tsar, and who. Other than a few foreign words and names, that's it for me.

Doesn't sound like a very interesting research paper.
