A few years ago, Pope Paul II, was in the US and commented about a "flood" in Denver, CA. I thought it was odd he pronounced the oo's as in food, and didn't pronounce it as "flughd". Then I realized, I couldn't think of another "oo" word that is pronounced "ugh".
One pronounced flood is Blood!

But wood is not pronounced like flood, or like food.

Good is like wood is like look is like book
Flood is like blood
Food is like tool

Thank goodness the flood caused no fools to shed blood!
