Does chaplain contain a beginning blend or digraph?

The word "chaplain" contains a digraph.

Here's why:

* Digraph: Two letters that represent a single sound.

* Beginning Blend: Two or more consonants that blend together to make a single sound at the beginning of a word.

In "chaplain," the letters "ch" together make the sound of /ch/. This is a digraph, not a blend, because the two letters are treated as one sound.
