The word "Jacksaw" is a commonly misspelled word, as it is often mistaken for the correctly spelled word "Jigsaw". The spelling of "Jacksaw" can be explained through its phonetic transcription in IPA as /ˈdʒæk.sɔː/. The first syllable "jack" is pronounced with the consonant sound /dʒ/, followed by the vowel sound /æ/ and the consonant sound /k/. The second syllable "saw" is pronounced with the vowel sound /ɔː/ and the consonant sound /s/. Therefore, "Jacksaw" is correctly spelled with a "c" and not a "g".
