What are words with long i spelled y?

You're likely thinking about words where the long "i" sound is spelled "y" in a digraph, meaning a combination of two letters that represent a single sound. Here's how it works:

* The "y" in these cases is part of a digraph, often with the letter "i" or sometimes "e":

* "ie" - This digraph is most common, often at the end of a word or syllable.

* Examples: "tie", "lie", "pie", "cried", "tried"

* "ey" - This digraph is found more often at the end of a word or syllable, but can be found in the middle.

* Examples: "they", "key", "grey", "obey", "monkey"

* "ai" - This digraph can also represent the long "i" sound, particularly in words with an "a" followed by an "i" at the end.

* Examples: "rain", "sail", "train", "wait", "stair"

It's important to note that the "y" itself is not a stand-alone representation of the long "i" sound. It's part of a combination of letters.
