Is the word wind a short vowel word?

No, "wind" is not a short vowel word. It has a long vowel sound.

Here's why:

* The vowel sound in "wind" is the same as in "wine" or "fine". This is a long "i" sound.

* Short vowel sounds are usually associated with closed syllables. A closed syllable is a syllable that ends in a consonant. "Wind" has an open syllable (ending in a vowel).

Therefore, "wind" is considered a long vowel word.
