In simplifïd speling the letr e at thë end of the word is alwäs sïlnt (except for the word "the").

Sïlnt e or sïlnt fïnl e is a speling patrn that has 3 üses that can bë exemplifïd with ofice (c as /s/), lapse (to mark the word as a singülr noun), and love (magic e mäks the vowel chänge its sound).

Chänge the sound of "c", "g", "s" and "th"
At thë end of a word "c" sounds /k/, "g" sounds /g/, "s" may sound /z/ and "th" sounds /θ/. A sïlnt e mäks "c" and "s" sound /s/, "g" sound /dʒ/ and "th" sound /ð/.
