How Do You Spell JOGGLE?

Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɒɡə͡l] (IPA)

The word joggle is spelled with two 'g's, which may seem unusual given the common English spelling convention of only using one 'g' after most vowels. However, the pronunciation of joggle, with a hard 'g' sound, requires the second 'g' to prevent the preceding 'o' from being pronounced as a soft 'j' sound. In IPA phonetic transcription, joggle is pronounced as /ˈdʒɒɡəl/, with the first syllable pronounced like 'jog' and the second syllable rhyming with 'goggle'.
