Is snack a short vowel word?

Let's break down the word "snack" to determine if it has a short vowel sound:

* Short vowels are typically pronounced with a quick, sharp sound. Think of the "a" in "cat" or the "i" in "pig."

* The vowel sound in "snack" is a long "a" sound. It sounds like the "a" in "day" or "say."

Therefore, "snack" is not a short vowel word. It has a long vowel sound.
