The spelling of the word "franklier" can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The first syllable "frank" is spelled with the voiced alveolar nasal /n/ followed by the unvoiced alveolar stop /k/. The second syllable "lier" is spelled with the voiced alveolar lateral approximant /l/ followed by the unvoiced alveolar fricative /ɪr/. Therefore, the correct spelling of this word is "franklier," with emphasis on the first syllable. It means more candidly or openly.
