Single syllable words sorted by sound: /a/

I am creating lists of single syllable words sorted by sound. This week, the sound is /a/, typically called short a. We’ve all learned that short a is spelled ‘a’ and long a is spelled  ‘a-e’. However, I can think of three words in which short a is spelled a-e: have, axe, and Anne. Can you think of any others?

In a couple of weeks I will post a finalized word list on my website. This week, you can find a finalized word list for the b sound.
