What words have the same vowel sound as rough?

Here are some words that have the same vowel sound as "rough", which is the short u sound:

* cup

* duck

* jump

* much

* nut

* sun

* truck

* ugly

* young

* love (This one is a bit trickier, as it's often pronounced with a "short u" sound, but it's technically a different vowel sound called a "schwa".)

It's important to remember that the spelling of a word doesn't always tell you how to pronounce it, so it's good to have a good understanding of the different vowel sounds in English.
