Is dry an open syllable word?

No, "dry" is not an open syllable word.

Here's why:

* Open Syllable: An open syllable ends with a vowel sound.

* Closed Syllable: A closed syllable ends with a consonant sound.

In the word "dry," the "y" acts as a consonant sound. Therefore, the syllable "dry" is closed, not open.
