* "Why": This word is an exception, and the "y" makes the long "I" sound.
There are also words where "y" makes a long "I" sound in combination with other letters:
* "Sky": The "y" combines with the "s" to make the long "I" sound.
* "Try": Similar to "sky", the "y" combines with the "t" to make the long "I" sound.
Important Note: While these words have a long "I" sound, the "y" itself doesn't directly create it. It's often a combination of letters that work together to produce the sound.
