Does put have a long vowel sound?

No, "put" does not have a long vowel sound. It has a short vowel sound, specifically the short "u" sound.

Here's why:

* Spelling: The word "put" is spelled with a single "u". Words with long vowel sounds often have a double vowel (like "food") or a vowel followed by a silent "e" (like "bike").

* Sound: The "u" in "put" makes the short "u" sound, as in "cup" or "sun".
