In the word "queue", only the first letter is pronounced. The other four are silent (quietly waiting their turn).

@danjones000 it's interesting how 'cue' apparently is also an obsolete spelling of 'queue', meaning 'The tail; the end of a thing; especially, a tail-like twist of hair worn at the back of the head', considering the bald meaning of 'cue ball'. 😅

Also, to make things weirder, if we were to spell out the letter 'q', we'd write 'cue'.
So, 'cue' doesn't contains the letter it spells out, while 'queue' doesn't start with the letter its sound is spelled with. 😂
