Does ough have the same vowel sound as grouch?

No, "ough" and "grouch" do not have the same vowel sound.

* "Ough" can have several different vowel sounds depending on the word:

* "ow" as in "though"

* "oh" as in "dough"

* "uh" as in "rough"

* "oo" as in "through"

* "u" as in "enough"

* "Grouch" has the vowel sound of "ou" as in "out".

So, while they both involve the letters "o" and "u", they have distinct vowel sounds.
