Is accomplice a short vowel word?

Let's break down the word "accomplice" to figure out if it has a short vowel:

* Short vowels are typically found in words with one syllable where the vowel sound is short and quick, like in "cat", "bed", or "hot".

* "Accomplice" has three syllables ("ac-com-plice").

Because "accomplice" has multiple syllables, it does not fit the definition of a word with a short vowel. The vowels in "accomplice" are part of longer vowel sounds (dipthong) or are followed by a consonant blend, making them not short vowel sounds.

Therefore, "accomplice" is not a short vowel word.
