OW (cow) Sound Multisyllable Word List

This list has all multisyllable words in the database that contain any spelling of the /ow/ sound. They are arranged both by spelling and by the chunk that the spelling occurs. It can be a valuable resource for locating words to illustrate a certain pattern or to find words to practice reading that pattern.

Of the 7,000 words in the database constructed from a popular children’s dictionary, 68 of them are multisyllable words containing the vowel sound /ow/. There are only two likely spellings in longer words, "ou" and "ow". Note that in words of more than one syllable the "ow" spelling does occur in the middle of words, not just at the end.

Note on the word divisions: Each word is divided into chunks determined by the unique and effective OnTrack Reading Multisyllable Method. The chunks are not syllables.
