Solder = Solder.

Well, the word is pronounced "sodder".
So I guess some folks could say the "L".

Solder is not pronounced "sodder".

OK. We need to clarify something here.
Are you talking about the spools of soft metal used to secure electronic components to circuit boards?

This word, like many others here, is pronounced phonetically if you speak it in it's native language (it's an Italian word).

Anyway, my example is "asthma" (the "th" part is not pronounced)
