Is the word timid a long vowel or short vowel?

The word "timid" has a short vowel sound.

Here's why:

* The vowel sound in "timid" is the short "i" sound, as in "bit" or "sit".

* Long vowel sounds are typically associated with a vowel followed by a silent "e" at the end of a word (like "time") or a vowel followed by another vowel (like "tie").
