Single or Double Last Letter Words

Remember that rule about long and short vow­els and whether or not the last let­ter is repeated when con­ju­gat­ing a verb?  Take the word ANVIL, for exam­ple.  It’s a verb, so you can add –ED, –ING, or –S, but how do you spell it:  ANVILING or ANVILLING?  As it turns out, either way.  There are a num­ber of words that go both ways – and I’ve listed them below.

I’ve also included dif­fer­ent words that when taken together pro­duce more or less the same result as the ambidex­trous words described above.  For exam­ple, take the word BAR (a verb, to exclude or shut out).  It’s con­ju­gated BARRED, BARRING, BARS.  But BARED, BARING and BARES are also accept­able words.  In cases like this, I include the dif­fer­ent root words (in this case, BAR and BARE).

There are also cases when things are even a lit­tle more enter­tain­ing, like BAL, BALE, BALL (BALS, BALED, BALING, BALES, BALLED, BALLING, BALLS), or even FIL, FILE, FILL, FILLE (FILS, FILED, FILING, FILES, FILLED, FILLING, FILLS, FILLES).

One of the most inter­est­ing sets of words on the list is HALLO, HOLLO, HULLO, HALLOO, HOLLOO, HULLOO.  They all fol­low the same con­ju­ga­tion pat­tern: HALLOED, HALLOING, HALLOS OR HALLOES.  Here’s the list:
