Introduction to CC v CC Words

CC v CC words, which stands for consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant words, are five-letter words that have a beginning blend, a vowel, and an ending blend. These words can be a combination of blends at the beginning and/or end, or even a blend at one end and a glued sound at the other. In this article, we will explore different sets of beginning and ending blends, and learn how to create CC v CC words with various vowels. So let's dive in and discover the world of CC v CC words!

Common Beginning Blends

Before delving into creating CC v CC words, let's familiarize ourselves with some common beginning blends. These blends include:

• "TR" blend: Words like "track," "trip," and "truck" fall under this category.
• "GR" blend: Examples of words with the "GR" blend are "grab," "grit," and "grasp."
• "BR" blend: "Bread," "brag," and "brown" are a few words that have the "BR" blend.
• "CR" blend: Words such as "crab," "crop," and "crush" contain the "CR" blend.
• "BL" blend: The "BL" blend is found in words like "black," "bloom," and "bluff."
• "SL" blend: Examples of words with the "SL" blend include "slim," "sled," and "slick."
• "PL" blend: Words such as "plan," "plot," and "plus" have the "PL" blend.
• "ST" blend: The "ST" blend can be at the beginning or end of a word. Words like "stop," "mist," and "best" showcase the "ST" blend.

Common Ending Blends

In addition to the beginning blends, there are also common ending blends. These include:

• "ST" blend: As mentioned earlier, the "ST" blend can be found at the end of words as well. Examples include "first," "lost," and "burst."
• "PT" blend: Words such as "kept," "slept," and "adapt" have the "PT" blend.
• "D" blend: The "D" blend appears in words like "end," "mild," and "find."
• "K" blend: Examples of words with the "K" blend are "silk," "bank," and "sink."
• "MP" blend: Words such as "jump," "lump," and "stomp" showcase the "MP" blend.

Creating CC v CC Words with the Vowel "A"

Now that we are familiar with the blends, let's start creating CC v CC words with the vowel "A" in the middle. Here are a few examples:

1. "BL" + "A" + "CK" = "black"
2. "BL" + "A" + "ST" = "blast"
3. "BL" + "A" + "ND" = "bland"
4. "ST" + "A" + "ND" = "stand"
5. "CR" + "A" + "MP" = "cramp"

As you can see, by combining the different blends at the beginning and end with the vowel "A" in the middle, we can create a variety of CC v CC words.

Creating CC v CC Words with Other Vowels

Continuing our exploration, let's create CC v CC words with other vowels such as "E," "I," "O," and "U." Here are some examples:

• "E" blend: "SL" + "E" + "PT" = "slept"
• "E" blend: "CR" + "E" + "PT" = "crept"
• "I" blend: "BR" + "I" + "NK" = "brink"
• "I" blend: "CC" + "I" + "NK" = "clink"
• "O" blend: "AA" + "O" + "K" = "a book"
• "O" blend: "TR" + "O" + "NK" = "trunk"
• "U" blend: "PL" + "U" + "NK" = "plunk"
• "U" blend: "TR" + "U" + "ST" = "trust"

As you can see, by changing the beginning and ending blends, we can create a wide range of CC v CC words with different vowels.

Examples of CC v CC Words

To further illustrate the concept of CC v CC words, here are a few more examples:

1. "PL" + "A" + "CK" = "plack"
2. "GR" + "O" + "SS" = "gross"
3. "SL" + "E" + "ST" = "slest"
4. "TR" + "I" + "FT" = "trift"
5. "CR" + "O" + "SS" = "cross"
6. "ST" + "U" + "MP" = "stump"

These examples demonstrate the versatility of CC v CC words and how blending different consonants can create unique and meaningful words.
