Is Fright a short vowel word?

No, "fright" is not a short vowel word. It has a long "i" sound, which is pronounced like the "i" in "bike".

Here's why:

* Short vowel sounds are typically found in words where the vowel is followed by one consonant. For example, "cat", "dog", "sun".

* Long vowel sounds are often found in words where the vowel is followed by a consonant and then a silent "e" at the end. For example, "bike", "hope", "kite".

In the word "fright", the "i" is followed by the consonant "ght", which creates a long vowel sound.
