There are quite a handful of such words. In phonetics, we call them sight words because they don't sound anything like they look. You can't apply the principle of the sound of the letters to pronounce them. They will 'fall your hands" Many times, there are silent letters that you don't get to pronounce at all. Again, you need to be familiar with the words to be able to pronounce them correctly. There are tools to help you with this.
