The FLOSS Rule states that when a one-syllable word ends with a short vowel and a consonant, you double the final consonant before adding a suffix that begins with a vowel.

The word 'buzz' follows the FLOSS Rule because it has a short vowel sound and ends with a consonant.

A short vowel sound is the sound a vowel makes in a syllable that is not stressed, such as the 'a' in 'cat'.

A long vowel sound is the sound a vowel makes when it says its name, such as the 'a' in 'cake'.

1 syllable.

The purpose of the FLOSS Rule is to help with spelling words that have a short vowel sound followed by a consonant.

The final consonant is doubled before adding a suffix that starts with a vowel.
