How Do You Spell BOWLS?

Pronunciation: [bˈə͡ʊlz] (IPA)

The word "bowls" is pronounced /boʊlz/. This word has two syllables and is spelled with five letters: b-o-w-l-s. The spelling of this word can be tricky because it ends in the letter "s", but it is not pronounced as "z". Instead, the "s" is pronounced as "s" because it follows a voiced consonant "l". This is called a voiceless consonant sound, which is why "bowls" rhymes with "rolls" and not "fools".
