The word "criddle" is often spelled with one "d," but the correct spelling is with double "d's." The IPA transcription for "criddle" is /ˈkrɪdəl/. The initial "c" represents the voiced velar plosive /k/, followed by the short "i" sound /ɪ/, then the voiced alveolar fricative /ð/ and the repeated sound of the voiced dental plosive /d/. The correct spelling of "criddle" is important as incorrect spelling may lead to confusion in communication.
