How Do You Spell ENCY?
Pronunciation: [ɛnsˈa͡ɪ] (IPA) 
The word "ency" is often misspelled due to its ambiguous pronunciation. Phonetically, it is pronounced as /ˈɛnsi/ which actually contains two sounds, the first being the vowel sound /ɛ/ as in "pen" and the second being the consonant sound /ns/ as in "dance". The confusion often arises when people try to spell it phonetically as "ensee" or "encye" due to the fact that the pronunciation contains the letter "C". However, the correct spelling is simply "ENCY".
