What children learn in Level 42

Here's a challenge: silly words! They're made up, but you can still read them with the rules you know.
Snoat has the o a team, which says long o. So snoat rhymes with boat!
Long silly words split just like real ones. Blimpet: blim, pet.
Your turn! Split the silly word fiptan.
If you can read silly words, you really know your rules!
