To figure out if a word is a closed or open syllable word, look at the vowel (a<span>, </span>e<span>, </span>i<span>, </span>o<span>, </span>u)
wax
open syllables- word ends on a vowel
closed syllables- the vowel is followed by a consonant or more
therefore, wax is a closed syllable
(another example; fro-zen; fro would be the open syllable since it ends on O (vowel); while zen - the e (VOWEL) is followed by a consonant (n)
