Does bone have a long o vowel sound?

No, the vowel sound in "bone" is a short o sound, similar to the "o" in "hot" or "cot."

It's easy to get confused because "bone" is spelled with an "o" and "e" at the end, which often indicates a long vowel sound. However, the "e" at the end of "bone" is silent.
