A mismatch occurs if the letter "e", "I", "u" are the beginning of a word, after a vowel and after a hard or soft signs. In addition, they soften the standing in front of a consonant, they also form the two sounds. For example, the word "Apple" for the letter "I" stands for two sounds [ th ] and [ a ]. Thus, in the word of letters six, seven and sounds. And the word "Blizzard" is the letter "s" after the soft sign, represents two sounds: [ y ] and [ y ]. So the sounds in this word will be one greater than the number of letters.

It has six letters and five sounds.
