Cy words that sound like s?

You're looking for words that start with "Cy" and sound like "s"? That's a tricky one!

Here's why:

* "Cy" is a distinct sound: It's not a "s" sound at all. It's a "si" sound, like in "cycle" or "cyclone."

* "S" has multiple pronunciations: "S" can sound like "s" (as in "sun"), "z" (as in "zoo"), or even "sh" (as in "sugar").

Therefore, there aren't any words that start with "Cy" that sound like "s."

If you're looking for words that sound like "s" but don't start with "Cy," here are some options:

* "ce" at the end of a word: This often sounds like "s", like in "France" or "peace."

* "sh" at the beginning of a word: This is a common "s" sound, like in "ship" or "shoe."

* "ch" at the beginning of a word: Sometimes this sound can be close to "s" or "sh", like in "chair" or "chip."

Let me know if you have a specific type of word in mind, and I can help you further!
