Sir,
It would be very nice if you could help in figuring out the consonant and vowel sounds in the word ' PURE '.
Thank you

Your Sincerely

Well.. This depends on the variety of English you are using. In the case of British/American English,  the word pure forms a CCV pattern (a cluster). Therefore forms a cluster. However, a lot of non-native speakers of English pronounce the word as /pəjʊər/ thereby resulting in CVCVC pattern.
