Consonant-le syllable

A consonant-le syllable is a final syllable made of a consonant, an l and a silent e, as in table, little and puzzle.

It is one of the six syllable types and usually comes late in a sequence. The syllable before it decides whether the consonant is doubled (little versus title).

Why it matters for the record

Track it with the doubling rule, since that is where the errors are.
