What words with a long I sound are spelled y?

You're asking about words with a long "I" sound that are spelled with a "y". This is a bit tricky, as the "y" usually represents a short "I" sound, but there are some exceptions:

* "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.
