How syllable counting works

Syllable counting in English uses a vowel-group algorithm: each consecutive group of vowels (a, e, i, o, u) counts as one syllable, with adjustments for silent 'e' at the end of words, 'ed' endings, and words ending in 'le'. This heuristic approach is accurate for most common English words.
