📖 Detailed Explanation
CK is used to spell the /k/ sound only after a SINGLE vowel that says its SHORT sound. This is one of the most reliable spelling rules in English.
💡 Tips to Remember
- Short vowel + /k/ = CK
- Long vowel + /k/ = K or KE (like, make)
- Two vowels or consonant before /k/ = just K
