How Do You Spell WILDE?

Pronunciation: [wˈa͡ɪldə] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "wilde" is somewhat tricky because the "e" at the end of the word is not pronounced.

The "w" sound is represented by /w/, the "ai" by /aɪ/, the "l" by /l/, and the "d" by /d/. It's important to remember that even though there is an "e" at the end of the word, it is silent, hence /waɪld/.
