Short "e" sound:
* bed
* bread
* dead
* fed
* head
* led
* red
* shed
* spread
* thread
* bled
* met
* pen
* ten
* chess
Note: The vowel sound in "said" is a bit different than the typical short "e" sound, which is why some words like "bed" sound slightly different. However, they are still very close in sound.
