Short "e" sound:
* bed
* get
* pen
* said
* sled
* bread
* guess
* then
* send
* fell
* bell
* tell
* sell
* spell
Note: The vowel sound in "seal" is a bit more complex than a simple short "e." It's sometimes described as a "short e" followed by a very short "l" sound. This is why some words like "bell" and "tell" are close but not identical.
