How Do You Spell FOEL?
Pronunciation: [fˈə͡ʊl] (IPA) 
The word "foel" is an example of the tricky, irregular spellings found in the English language. Despite its short appearance, "foel" actually has two syllables and is pronounced /ˈvɔɪ.l̩/. The unusual spelling is due to its Welsh origin, in which "f" sounds like "v" and "oe" is pronounced as a single vowel sound. In English, it is most commonly used as a place name, such as the mountain Foel Fras in Wales. The word serves as a reminder that English spelling can be complex and unpredictable.
