Played and Tried

Do you remember why we write 'I played' and 'I tried'?

Well, I didn't. So I've searched and got the explanation:

 When the word ends in a consonant plus 'y', you need to change 'y' in 'i' before add 'ed' in the past form. The same to create superlatives and comparatives: easy/easier,easiest. Or plurals: city/cities, etc.

When the word ends in a vowel plus 'y', there is no change!
