The 7-letter rule is a core Russian spelling principle: after г, к, х, ж, ш, щ, and ч, you must write и instead of ы.

You'll encounter this rule in plurals and adjectives.

• Plurals: книга becomes книги (not книгы), because the stem ends in г.
• After х, adjectives take -ий: hence тихий (quiet), never тыхый.
• The pronunciation stays the same after ж, ш, щ, ч, but spelling always uses и.

Learning this rule early helps you avoid common spelling mistakes in Russian.
