You’ll likely already be able to recognize many of the words from these lists. Lots of them are commonly spoken within the English language and are used every day.

For example, “soil”, “sale”, “snow”, “slim”, and “seek” are all very popular words. They also all contain at least one vowel. You’ll likely hear these terms being used throughout the day.

Some of the words above as used as abbreviations to shorten words. For example, the word “sesh” has become a popular expression used to describe going out for a night to drink alcohol (usually as a group). “Sept” is a shortened version of the word September and is sometimes written when one is writing down dates. “Sig” is used often at the end of an email providing a place for someone to put their signature (or sign).

What are 4 letter words?

Four letter words represent words that are made with combinations of four letters in total. Some examples of them include the following: “make,” “take”, “lake”, and “bake.” As you can see, all four of these words contain three of the same letters.

The only difference between each of them is that the first letter has changed. Despite three out of four of the letter being the same for each of them, they all have very different meanings. Therefore, the change of just a single letter in four-letter words, and all words for that matter, can result in a pretty huge difference.
