The word "kenworthy" is spelled using the IPA phonetic transcription as /ˈkɛnwərði/. The first syllable "ken" is pronounced with the short "e" sound /ɛ/ followed by the "n" sound. The second syllable "wor" is pronounced with a short "o" sound /wɔr/, followed by the "th" sound /ð/. The final syllable "thy" is pronounced with the short "i" sound /i/. This spelling can be confusing for some because of the irregularity in the pronunciation of the "wor" syllable, but with practice, it can be mastered.
