Educational worksheet for practicing the 'y' sound with images and word completion activities.

Let’s go step by step to fill in the missing sounds for each “y” word.

We are looking for words that end with or contain the letter y, and we need to complete the blanks so they become real English words — mostly nouns, but some adjectives too (as instructed).

---

First section: Complete the missing sounds for each ‘y’ word

1. _ _ l t → Think of a word ending in “y” that fits this pattern.
Try: colt? No, doesn’t have y.
How about colty? Not common.
Wait — maybe it’s filly? That’s a young female horse — yes! And it ends in “y”.
But the blank is _ _ l t — that would be 4 letters before “y”? Let’s count:
The line says: ___ lt → then under it, probably meant to be filled as _ _ l t y?
Actually, looking at the structure: each has underscores and then part of the word.
For example: first one is “_ _ l t” — likely meaning the full word is _ _ l t y → so 5-letter word ending in “y”, with “lt” near the end.

Let’s try: filly → f-i-l-l-y → that’s 5 letters. Blanks: _ _ l t → wait, no “t” in filly. Hmm.

Maybe it’s colt + y = colty? Not standard.

Another idea: malt + y = malty? Yes! Malty is an adjective (like beer flavor), and it fits: m-a-l-t-y → so blanks: _ _ l t → actually, if it’s “_ _ l t”, and we add “y”, then it’s _ _ l t y → so two letters before “l”, then “t”, then “y”.

So: malty → m-a-l-t-y → so first two blanks: m, a → then “l t” given → then add “y”.

But let’s check others to see pattern.

2. ch _ rr _ → likely cherry → c-h-e-r-r-y → so blanks: e, y → but the last blank is after “rr”, so probably “ch _ rr _” means ch [blank] rr [blank] → so cherry → e and y.

3. _ pp _ → could be puppy → p-u-p-p-y → so blanks: u, y? But it starts with underscore, so maybe _ pp _ → puppy → p, u, p, p, y → so first blank is “p”, second is “y”? But that would be “p pp y” — not matching.

Wait — perhaps the underscores represent missing letters, and the shown letters are fixed.

Let me re-read:

The worksheet says:

Can you complete the missing sounds for each ‘y’ word?

Then shows:

[Picture of cow spots?] → _ _ l t
[Picture of apple?] → ch _ rr _
[Picture of dog?] → _ pp _
[Picture of truck?] → l _ rr _
[Picture of girl?] → h _ pp _
[Picture of teddy bear?] → _ dd _

And below: Complete and read each word.

b _ _ r → ?
c _ a rr _ → ?
f _ un _ → ?
d _ ll _ → ?
s _ r r _ ff _ → ?
m _ ss _ → ?

Then: Double the final consonant and add ‘y’ to make each noun an adjective.

fog → _ _ _
mud → _ _ _
nut → _ _ _
sun → _ _ _
skirt → _ _ _
insect → _ _ _

Also top right: y → funny bunny (example)

So let’s solve systematically.

---

Part 1: Picture clues – complete the ‘y’ words

Assume pictures give hints:

- First picture: black and white spots → like a calf or foal? Or maybe “spotty”? But the text is “_ _ l t” → perhaps filly? Filly is a young female horse — often spotted? Not really. Or colt? Colt is male, no y. Unless it’s colty — rare.

Wait — another thought: malty — from malt, like barley, used in brewing — not related to spots.

Perhaps it’s silty? Silt is mud/sediment — not matching picture.

Maybe the picture is of a dolly? Like doll? But next is truck.

Second picture: red round fruit → apple? But “ch _ rr _” → definitely cherry! Cherry is red, round, fruit. So ch _ rr _ → cherry → so blanks: e, y → so “ch e rr y”

Third picture: dog → _ pp _ → likely puppy → p u p p y → so if it’s “_ pp _”, then first blank is “p”, last is “y”? But that would be “p pp y” — which is puppy if we consider the first p is missing, then “pp”, then y. So yes: puppy

Fourth picture: truck → l _ rr _ → what truck-related word ends in y? Lorry! British English for truck. L-o-r-r-y → so l _ rr _ → blanks: o, y → so “l o rr y”

Fifth picture: smiling girl → h _ pp _ → happy! H-a-p-p-y → so h _ pp _ → blanks: a, y → “h a pp y”

Sixth picture: teddy bear → _ dd _ → dolly? D-o-l-l-y → but that’s 5 letters. Or daddy? D-a-d-d-y → yes! Teddy bear might remind of daddy? Or more likely dolly — but dolly has “ll”, not “dd”. Wait — teddy itself! T-e-d-d-y → so _ dd _ → if it’s “_ dd _”, then first blank is “t”, last is “y” → so “t dd y” → teddy. Perfect.

So summarizing Part 1:

- _ _ l t → ??? Still stuck. Let’s come back.
- ch _ rr _ → cherry → e, y
- _ pp _ → puppy → p, y (assuming first blank is p, last is y)
- l _ rr _ → lorry → o, y
- h _ pp _ → happy → a, y
- _ dd _ → teddy → t, y

Now the first one: _ _ l t → with picture of spots. What word ending in y has “lt” and relates to spots? Spotty! S-p-o-t-t-y → but that’s “spott y”, not “_ _ l t”. Unless it’s miswritten? Or perhaps filly — but no “t”.

Another idea: malty — m-a-l-t-y → so if the blank is “_ _ l t”, and we add “y”, then it’s m,a,l,t,y → so first two blanks: m, a → then “l t” is given, then we add “y” implicitly? But the instruction says “complete the missing sounds”, so probably all letters except those shown.

Looking at the format: for “ch _ rr _”, we fill two blanks to make “cherry”. Similarly, “_ pp _” becomes “puppy” — so three letters shown? No: “ch _ rr _” has 6 characters including underscores: positions 1:c, 2:h, 3:_, 4:r, 5:r, 6:_ → so we fill position 3 and 6.

Similarly, “_ _ l t” — positions 1:_, 2:_, 3:l, 4:t → so we need to fill 1 and 2, and presumably the word ends with y, so it’s _ _ l t y? But that would be 5 letters, and only 4 slots shown? Confusing.

Perhaps the “y” is implied to be added at the end for all, since the topic is “y” words.

Look at the example top right: “y” arrow to “funny bunny” — so words ending in y.

So for “_ _ l t”, it’s likely a 5-letter word ending in y, with “l t” as the 3rd and 4th letters.

So: _ _ l t y

What word? Fil ly? F-i-l-l-y — but that’s “ll”, not “lt”.

Mal ty? M-a-l-t-y — yes! Malty. And “malty” can describe something with malt flavor, but does it relate to the picture? The picture is black and white spots — like a Holstein cow? Cows eat grass, not directly malty. But perhaps it's acceptable.

Another possibility: silty — s-i-l-t-y — silty means full of silt, muddy — and the picture might be mud spots? Possible.

But let’s see other parts; maybe we can infer.

Perhaps it’s colty — though rare, it means like a colt, youthful — and colts can have spots? Unlikely.

I think malty is best guess, or silty. Let’s hold and do others.

Actually, looking online or standard worksheets, this is a common exercise. I recall that for spots, it might be spotty, but “spotty” is s-p-o-t-t-y, which would be “_ _ tt _” or something. Here it’s “_ _ l t”, so not matching.

Another idea: filly is sometimes spelled or considered, but no “t”.

Perhaps it’s a typo, and it’s supposed to be “_ _ tt _” for spotty. But we have to work with what’s given.

Let’s assume it’s malty for now.

So:

- _ _ l t → m a l t y → so blanks: m, a
- ch _ rr _ → c h e r r y → blanks: e, y
- _ pp _ → p u p p y → blanks: u, y? Wait, if it’s “_ pp _”, and we want “puppy”, then first character is p, then pp, then y — so the blanks are for the first letter and the last letter. So “p” and “y”. But “puppy” has five letters: p,u,p,p,y — so if the template is “_ pp _”, that suggests four characters: pos1:_, pos2:p, pos3:p, pos4:_ — so to make “puppy”, we need pos1=p, pos4=y, but then it’s p,p,p,y — missing the u. Oh no!

Mistake here.

“Puppy” is P-U-P-P-Y.

If the template is “_ pp _”, that implies the word has the form: [letter] + "pp" + [letter], so four letters total? But puppy is five.

Unless the template includes the 'u' implicitly? No.

Perhaps it’s “pup _” or something else.

Another common word: poppy — flower, P-O-P-P-Y — same issue.

Or happy — but that’s later.

For the dog picture, it must be puppy.

Perhaps the template “_ pp _” is meant to be filled as “p u pp y” but written with underscores for missing letters, so “_ pp _” means there are two missing letters: one before "pp" and one after, but in "puppy", before "pp" is "pu" — two letters, not one.

This is confusing.

Let’s look at the fifth one: h _ pp _ → for happy, H-A-P-P-Y, so if template is “h _ pp _”, then positions: 1:h, 2:_, 3:p, 4:p, 5:_ — so fill 2 and 5 with a and y → perfect.

Similarly, for “_ pp _”, if it’s for puppy, it should be “_ u pp _” or something, but it’s not.

Perhaps it’s “p _ pp _” but it’s written as “_ pp _”.

Another possibility: the word is yippee or something, but not matching.

Let’s consider that for the dog, it might be doggy — D-O-G-G-Y — but template is “_ pp _”, not “_ gg _”.

Not matching.

Perhaps it’s a different word. What about pippy? Not common.

I think there might be a mistake in my assumption. Let’s list all templates again:

From the image description:

- First: _ _ l t (with spots picture)
- Second: ch _ rr _ (apple/cherry picture)
- Third: _ pp _ (dog picture)
- Fourth: l _ rr _ (truck picture)
- Fifth: h _ pp _ (girl picture)
- Sixth: _ dd _ (teddy bear picture)

For third: _ pp _ — if we put "u" and "y", it becomes "u pp y" — which is not a word. If we put "o" and "y", "o pp y" — poppy, which is a flower, not related to dog.

Unless the dog is named Poppy? Possible, but unlikely for a general worksheet.

Another idea: puppy is intended, and the template is poorly designed, or perhaps it's "p _ pp _" but written as "_ pp _" by mistake.

Perhaps in some fonts, the 'u' is included, but I think for the sake of progress, let's assume that for "_ pp _", it's "puppy" and the first blank is for 'p' and the last for 'y', ignoring the 'u' — but that doesn't work.

Let's count the underscores.

In "ch _ rr _", there are two underscores, and "cherry" has six letters: c,h,e,r,r,y — so the underscores are for e and y, and "ch" and "rr" are given, so the word is built as ch + [e] + rr + [y] = cherry.

Similarly, for "_ pp _", if it's to be "puppy", then it should be p + [u] + pp + [y] , but the template has only one underscore before "pp" and one after, so perhaps it's expecting "p" for the first blank and "y" for the last, and the "u" is implied or something — but that's not logical.

Perhaps the word is appy as in happy, but that's later.

Another thought: for the dog, it might be yip but not ending in y properly.

Let's skip and do the fourth: l _ rr _ — for truck, lorry: l + [o] + rr + [y] = lorry — good.

Fifth: h _ pp _ — h + [a] + pp + [y] = happy — good.

Sixth: _ dd _ — for teddy bear, teddy: t + [e] + dd + [y] = teddy — so blanks: e, y? But the template is "_ dd _", so first blank is for 't', last for 'y'? Then it would be t + dd + y = tddy, missing 'e'. Same problem.

For "teddy", it's T-E-D-D-Y, so if template is "_ dd _", it should be _ e dd _ or something.

I see the issue: in "h _ pp _", the 'h' is given, so for "happy", it's h + a + pp + y, so the first underscore is after 'h', so it's for the 'a', and the last underscore is for 'y'.

Similarly, for "_ dd _", the first underscore is for the first letter, then "dd", then last underscore for the last letter. For "teddy", it should be t + e + dd + y, so the template should be "_ e dd _" or "t _ dd _", but it's "_ dd _", so perhaps it's for "daddy" — D-A-D-D-Y, so d + a + dd + y, so if template is "_ dd _", then first blank is 'd', last is 'y', but then it's d + dd + y = dddy, missing 'a'.

Unless the "dd" includes the double d, and the first blank is for the vowel.

For "daddy": positions: 1:d, 2:a, 3:d, 4:d, 5:y — so if template is "_ dd _", it might mean pos1:_, pos2:d, pos3:d, pos4:_ — so to make "daddy", pos1=d, pos4=y, but then it's d,d,d,y — still missing 'a'.

This is not working.

Perhaps the template "_ dd _" is for "dolly" — D-O-L-L-Y, but that's "ll", not "dd".

For teddy bear, it must be "teddy", so perhaps the template is "t _ dd _" but written as "_ dd _" by error, or in the image, it's clear.

Since I can't see the image, I have to assume based on common knowledge.

In many such worksheets, for teddy bear, it's "teddy", and the template might be "t _ dd _" or something.

To resolve, let's look at the next part.

Part 2: Complete and read each word.

b _ _ r → ?
c _ a rr _ → ?
f _ un _ → ?
d _ ll _ → ?
s _ r r _ ff _ → ?
m _ ss _ → ?

These are likely words ending in y.

b _ _ r → could be "berry" — B-E-R-R-Y, but here it's b _ _ r, so perhaps b e r r y, but "r" is given at the end, so b _ _ r y? Template is "b _ _ r", so probably b + _ + _ + r, and then add y, so b _ _ r y.

"Berry" is b-e-r-r-y, so if "b _ _ r", then blanks for e and r, but "r" is already given, so b e r r — then add y, so "berr y" — berry.

Similarly, c _ a rr _ → c _ a rr _ — likely "carrot" but not ending in y. "Carry" — C-A-R-R-Y, so c _ a rr _ — if it's c + _ + a + rr + _, then for "carry", it would be c + a + a + rr + y? No, carry is c-a-r-r-y, so positions: 1:c, 2:a, 3:r, 4:r, 5:y — so if template is "c _ a rr _", that might be c + [blank] + a + rr + [blank] — so to make "carry", it doesn't fit because "a" is in position 2, but here "a" is after the first blank.

Perhaps "crazy" — C-R-A-Z-Y, not matching.

"Curry" — C-U-R-R-Y, so c _ a rr _ — if "a" is given, not matching.

Another idea: "charry" not a word.

Perhaps "cigar" but not ending in y.

Let's think of words ending in y with "a rr" in them.

"Barry" — B-A-R-R-Y, but starts with b.

For c _ a rr _, perhaps "cara" something.

"Carry" is close, but how to fit.

Perhaps the "a" is part of "arr", so c _ arr _ — but it's written as "c _ a rr _", so likely c, then blank, then a, then rr, then blank.

So for "carry", it would require the first blank to be nothing, but it's there.

Another word: "curry" — C-U-R-R-Y, so if template is "c _ a rr _", it doesn't have "a".

Unless it's "cary" but not.

Perhaps "crazy" — C-R-A-Z-Y, so c _ a rr _ — if "rr" is for "z", not matching.

I think it might be "carrot" but not ending in y.

Let's consider "berry" for b _ _ r: b e r r y, so if "b _ _ r", then blanks for e and r, and then add y, so "berr y" — berry.

Similarly, for c _ a rr _, perhaps "carriage" but not ending in y.

Another idea: "candy" — C-A-N-D-Y, not matching.

Perhaps "cory" not.

Let's do f _ un _ — likely "funny" — F-U-N-N-Y, so f _ un _ — f + [u] + un + [n] + [y]? Template is "f _ un _", so probably f + _ + un + _, so for "funny", it would be f + u + un + n + y, but "un" is given, so f + [u] + un + [n] + [y] — but the template has only two underscores, so perhaps f _ un _ means f, blank, "un", blank, and then add y, so the word is f _ un _ y.

For "funny", it's f-u-n-n-y, so if "un" is given, then f + [u] + un + [n] + y, but "un" includes u and n, so f + [u] + un would be f,u,u,n — duplicate.

This is messy.

Perhaps "fun" is the root, and we add "ny" or something.

Standard word: "funny" is common, and for f _ un _, it might be f u un n y, but not.

Another possibility: "funky" — F-U-N-K-Y, so f _ un _ — f + [u] + un + [k] + [y] — again, "un" is given, so f + [u] + un = f,u,u,n — not good.

Perhaps the "un" is meant to be the letters "u" and "n", so for "funny", it's f + u + n + n + y, so if template is "f _ un _", then the first blank is for 'u', but "un" is already there, so conflict.

I think there's a better way. Let's assume that for "f _ un _", it's "funny", and the blanks are for 'u' and 'n', but "un" is given, so perhaps the first blank is before "un", so for "funny", it's f + [u] + un + [n] + y, but "un" contains u and n, so if we put 'u' in the first blank, then "un" adds another u and n, so f,u,u,n,n,y — too many.

Unless the "un" is not literal, but I think for the sake of time, let's use common answers from similar worksheets.

Upon recalling, in many phonics worksheets, for "y" words:

- b _ _ r → berry
- c _ a rr _ → carry (but how?)
- f _ un _ → funny
- d _ ll _ → dolly
- s _ r r _ ff _ → scruffy
- m _ ss _ → messy

Let's verify:

- berry: b-e-r-r-y — so if "b _ _ r", then blanks for e and r, and then add y, so "berr y" — yes.
- carry: c-a-r-r-y — if "c _ a rr _", then perhaps it's c + [a] + a + rr + [y] — but "a" is repeated. Maybe the template is "c a rr _" but it's "c _ a rr _", so perhaps for "carry", it's not fitting.

Another word for c _ a rr _: "curry" — c-u-r-r-y, so if "a" is given, not matching.

Perhaps "cary" is not.

Let's consider "charry" not a word.

Perhaps it's "cigar" but not ending in y.

I think it might be "carrot" but the instruction is for 'y' words, so must end in y.

Another idea: "candy" — C-A-N-D-Y, not matching "a rr".

Perhaps "cory" not.

Let's look at s _ r r _ ff _ — likely "scruffy" — S-C-R-U-F-F-Y, so s _ r r _ ff _ — s + [c] + r r + [u] + ff + [y] — so blanks: c, u, y.

Similarly, m _ ss _ — "messy" — M-E-S-S-Y, so m _ ss _ — m + [e] + ss + [y] — blanks: e, y.

d _ ll _ — "dolly" — D-O-L-L-Y, so d _ ll _ — d + [o] + ll + [y] — blanks: o, y.

f _ un _ — "funny" — F-U-N-N-Y, so f _ un _ — if "un" is given, perhaps f + [u] + un + [n] + y, but as before, issue.

Perhaps "f un _" means f, space, un, blank, but likely f _ un _ is f, blank, "un", blank, and for "funny", it's f, u, n, n, y, so if "un" is the middle, then f + [u] + un + [n] + y, but "un" is u and n, so f + u + (u,n) + n + y = f,u,u,n,n,y — not good.

Unless the "un" is meant to be the letters for "un" as in the sound, but in spelling, for "funny", the "un" is not separate.

Perhaps for "f _ un _", it's "funky" — F-U-N-K-Y, so f + [u] + un + [k] + [y] — same issue.

I recall that in some worksheets, "f _ un _" is for "funny", and they expect "u" and "n" for the blanks, ignoring the "un" overlap, or perhaps the "un" is a hint for the sound.

To move forward, let's assume:

- b _ _ r → berry → blanks: e, r
- c _ a rr _ → carry → but how? Perhaps c + [a] + a + rr + [y] — not. Another word: "curry" — if the "a" is a typo, or perhaps "cary" not.

Let's search for words with "a rr" ending in y: "barry", "marry", "parry", "tarri" not.

"Carry" is the only common one, so perhaps the template is "c a rr _" but written as "c _ a rr _" by mistake, or in the image, it's clear that the first blank is for 'a', but "a" is also given later.

Perhaps for "c _ a rr _", it's "c" + blank + "a" + "rr" + blank, and for "carry", it doesn't fit, but for "curry", it would be c + u + a + rr + y — not.

Another idea: "crazy" — C-R-A-Z-Y, so if "rr" is for "z", not.

I think it might be "carrot" but not ending in y, or perhaps "candy" with different template.

Let's consider that "c _ a rr _" might be "c" + "a" + "rr" + "y" with a blank in between, but for "carry", it's c-a-r-r-y, so if the template is "c a rr _", then blank for y, but it's "c _ a rr _", so two blanks.

Perhaps it's "c" + blank + "a" + "rr" + blank, and the word is "cary" not, or "cery" not.

Let's try "cory" not.

Perhaps "cigar" but not.

I recall that in some versions, it's "c _ rr _" for "curry", but here it's "c _ a rr _", so perhaps the "a" is part of "arr", and the first blank is for 'c' or something.

To save time, let's use the following common answers:

- b _ _ r → berry (blanks: e, r)
- c _ a rr _ → carry (assume blanks: a, y) even though "a" is given, perhaps the first blank is for the first 'a', but it's redundant.
- f _ un _ → funny (blanks: u, n) — assuming "un" is the sound, and we fill u and n for the blanks.
- d _ ll _ → dolly (blanks: o, y)
- s _ r r _ ff _ → scruffy (blanks: c, u, y)
- m _ ss _ → messy (blanks: e, y)

For s _ r r _ ff _, "scruffy" is s-c-r-u-f-f-y, so if template is "s _ r r _ ff _", then positions: 1:s, 2:_, 3:r, 4:r, 5:_, 6:f, 7:f, 8:_ — so for "scruffy", it's s,c,r,u,f,f,y — so pos2=c, pos5=u, pos8=y — so blanks: c, u, y.

Similarly for others.

For c _ a rr _, if we force "carry", c,a,r,r,y, so if template is "c _ a rr _", then pos1:c, pos2:_, pos3:a, pos4:r, pos5:r, pos6:_ — so for "carry", pos2 should be 'a', but pos3 is also 'a', so pos2=a, pos6=y, so blanks: a, y — and the word is c,a,a,r,r,y — "caarry" not a word. So not.

Perhaps it's "curry" — c,u,r,r,y, so if template is "c _ a rr _", it doesn't have "a".

Unless the "a" is a mistake, and it's "c _ rr _" for "curry".

Given the constraints, I'll assume that for "c _ a rr _", it's "carry" and the blanks are for 'a' and 'y', and the "a" in the template is for the second 'a', but in "carry", there's only one 'a'.

"Carry" has one 'a': c-a-r-r-y.

So perhaps the template is "c a rr _" and the first underscore is a typo.

For the sake of completing, let's proceed with:

- b _ _ r → e, r (berry)
- c _ a rr _ → a, y (carry) — even though imperfect
- f _ un _ → u, n (funny)
- d _ ll _ → o, y (dolly)
- s _ r r _ ff _ → c, u, y (scruffy)
- m _ ss _ → e, y (messy)

Now back to Part 1.

For _ _ l t → let's say "malty" — m,a,l,t,y — so blanks: m, a

ch _ rr _ → e, y (cherry)

_ pp _ → for puppy, perhaps u, y — but as discussed, not accurate. Let's say for "puppy", and assume the first blank is 'p', last is 'y', and 'u' is implied, or perhaps it's "pup y" but not.

Another common word for dog is "doggy", but template is "_ pp _", not "_ gg _".

Perhaps "yippee" not.

I think for "_ pp _", it might be "poppy" for a flower, but the picture is dog, so not.

Perhaps the dog is "Puppy" and the template is "p _ pp _" but written as "_ pp _", so in the answer, we put 'u' and 'y' for the blanks, making "u pp y" which is not, or 'p' and 'y' for "p pp y" = pppy not.

Let's calculate the number of letters.

In "h _ pp _" for "happy", it works with a and y.

For "_ dd _" for "teddy", if we put 'e' and 'y', it becomes "e dd y" = eddy, which is a name or whirlpool, and teddy bear could be associated, but "eddy" is not typically for teddy bear.

"Teddy" is T-E-D-D-Y, so if template is "_ dd _", and we put 't' and 'y', it's "t dd y" = tddy not.

If we put 'e' and 'y', "e dd y" = eddy.

Perhaps it's "daddy" — D-A-D-D-Y, so if "_ dd _", put 'd' and 'y', "d dd y" = dddy not.

I think the only logical choice for "_ dd _" with teddy bear is "teddy", so perhaps the first blank is for 't', and the last for 'y', and the 'e' is missing, but in the template, "dd" includes the double d, and the 'e' is before, so for "teddy", it's t-e-dd-y, so if template is "_ e dd _" but it's "_ dd _", so maybe in the image, it's clear that there is an 'e' or something.

To resolve, let's assume that for "_ dd _", it's "teddy" and the blanks are 'e' and 'y', so "e dd y" = eddy, and accept that.

Similarly for "_ pp _", for "puppy", blanks 'u' and 'y', "u pp y" = uppy not a word, or 'p' and 'y' for "p pp y" = pppy not.

Another idea: for "_ pp _", it might be "hippo" but not ending in y, or "hippy" — H-I-P-P-Y, so if template is "_ pp _", and for "hippy", it would be h + i + pp + y, so if "_ pp _", then first blank 'h', last 'y', but then "h pp y" = hppy not, missing 'i'.

Same issue.

Perhaps the template "_ pp _" is for "app" as in application, but not ending in y.

I recall that in some worksheets, for dog, it's "puppy", and the template is "p _ pp _" or " _ u pp _", but here it's "_ pp _", so perhaps for this context, we'll use "puppy" and put 'u' and 'y' for the blanks, and assume the first 'p' is given or something.

Let's look at the first one: _ _ l t — with spots picture. What if it's "spotty" — S-P-O-T-T-Y, so if template is "_ _ l t", not matching.

Perhaps "filly" — F-I-L-L-Y, so if "_ _ l t", not.

Another word: "milly" not.

Perhaps "silly" — S-I-L-L-Y, so if "_ _ l t", not.

I think I found it: for the spots, it might be "dotty" — D-O-T-T-Y, but "tt", not "lt".

Or "lottery" not.

Perhaps "colt" + y = "colty", and the picture is a colt with spots, so _ _ l t → c,o,l,t,y — so blanks: c, o

Then for "_ pp _" for dog, "puppy" — p,u,p,p,y — so if "_ pp _", perhaps it's "p" for first, "y" for last, and 'u' is understood, or in the answer, we put 'u' and 'y' for the blanks, making the word "u pp y" which is not, but perhaps it's accepted as "puppy" with the 'p' implied.

To make it work, let's define the answers as per common practice.

After thinking, I recall that in such worksheets, the answers are:

For Part 1:
- _ _ l t → colt y? Or malty. Let's say "malty" for now.
- ch _ rr _ → cherry → e, y
- _ pp _ → puppy → u, y (assume)
- l _ rr _ → lorry → o, y
- h _ pp _ → happy → a, y
- _ dd _ → teddy → e, y (for eddy, or t,y for teddy)

For teddy, if we put 't' and 'y', it's "t dd y" = tddy not, so perhaps 'e' and 'y' for "eddy", and eddy can be a nickname for teddy.

Similarly for puppy, "uppy" not, so perhaps 'p' and 'y' for "ppy" not.

Another possibility: for "_ pp _", it might be "yip" but not.

Let's consider that "pp" might be for "p" sound, and the word is "happy" but that's later.

I think for the dog, it's "puppy", and the template is meant to be filled as "p" for the first blank and "y" for the last, and the 'u' is part of the "pp" or something, but that's stretch.

Perhaps the word is "poppy" for a different picture, but the picture is dog.

Let's assume the following for Part 1:

- _ _ l t → m a (malty)
- ch _ rr _ → e y (cherry)
- _ pp _ → u y (puppy) — even though "u pp y" is not standard, perhaps it's accepted
- l _ rr _ → o y (lorry)
- h _ pp _ → a y (happy)
- _ dd _ → e y (eddy) or t y (teddy) — let's say e y for eddy

For Part 2:
- b _ _ r → e r (berry)
- c _ a rr _ → a y (carry) — assume
- f _ un _ → u n (funny)
- d _ ll _ → o y (dolly)
- s _ r r _ ff _ → c u y (scruffy)
- m _ ss _ → e y (messy)

Now Part 3: Double the final consonant and add ‘y’ to make each noun an adjective.

fog → foggy (double g, add y)
mud → muddy (double d, add y)
nut → nutty (double t, add y)
sun → sunny (double n, add y)
skirt → skirty? But "skirt" ends with 't', double t, add y = skirtty? Not common; usually "skirted" but for adjective, "skirty" is rare. Typically, for "skirt", it might not be doubled, but the instruction says "double the final consonant", so for "skirt", final consonant is 't', so double t, add y = skirtty, but that's not standard. Perhaps "skirt" is not meant to be doubled because it's not CVC, but the instruction says to double for all.

"insect" → insecty? Double 't', add y = insectty, not good.

Let's see the rule: "Double the final consonant and add ‘y’" — this is for short vowels or something, but for "fog" -> "foggy", "mud" -> "muddy", "nut" -> "nutty", "sun" -> "sunny", these work because they are CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) and stressed, so double the final consonant when adding suffix.

For "skirt": S-K-I-R-T — ends with 't', but the vowel is 'i', which is long or short? In "skirt", the 'i' is pronounced as /ɜː/ or /ɝ/, so not short vowel, so usually not doubled. But the instruction says to do it for all, so perhaps "skirtty" or "skirty".

Similarly, "insect": I-N-S-E-C-T — ends with 't', vowel 'e' is short, so double 't', add y = insectty, not common; usually "insectile" or something, but for this level, perhaps "insecty".

In many worksheets, for "skirt", they might expect "skirty", and for "insect", "insecty", even though not standard.

Perhaps "skirt" is not to be doubled, but the instruction says "each noun", so all.

Another thought: for "skirt", the final consonant is 't', but there is 'r' before, so not simple CVC.

To follow the instruction literally:

- fog → foggy (g is doubled)
- mud → muddy (d doubled)
- nut → nutty (t doubled)
- sun → sunny (n doubled)
- skirt → skirtty? Or skirty? Usually, it's "skirted" for past tense, but for adjective, "skirty" is used informally.
- insect → insectty or insecty.

I think for this level, they expect:

- fog → foggy
- mud → muddy
- nut → nutty
- sun → sunny
- skirt → skirty (even though not doubled, or perhaps they consider 't' as final, double it, but "skirt" has 'rt', so double 't' -> skirtt, add y = skirtty, which is awkward.

Perhaps for "skirt", since it ends with 'rt', they don't double, but the instruction says "double the final consonant", so for "skirt", final consonant is 't', so double it.

But in practice, for words ending with two consonants, we don't double, but here "skirt" ends with 'rt', two consonants, so no doubling.

The rule for doubling is when the word ends with a single consonant after a short vowel.

For "fog": o is short, g is single consonant, so double g.
"mud": u short, d single, double d.
"nut": u short, t single, double t.
"sun": u short, n single, double n.
"skirt": i is not short in the same way; in "skirt", the 'i' is followed by 'r', which makes it a different sound, so usually not doubled. In fact, "skirt" + "y" = "skirty", without doubling.
"insect": e is short, but ends with 'ct', two consonants, so no doubling; "insecty" is used.

So probably, for "skirt" and "insect", we do not double, just add 'y'.

But the instruction says "Double the final consonant and add ‘y’", so for consistency, perhaps they want us to double for all, but that would be incorrect for some.

In the context, for "fog", "mud", etc., it works with doubling, for "skirt", if we double 't', it becomes "skirtty", which is not a word, so likely, for "skirt" and "insect", we just add 'y' without doubling, or the "final consonant" means the last letter, and for "skirt", last letter is 't', so double it, but then "skirtt" + "y" = "skirtty", which is not standard.

Perhaps "skirt" is not meant to be included, but it is.

Another idea: for "skirt", the final consonant is 't', but since
