The spelling of "more prodded" may seem confusing due to the presence of two similar consonant sounds at the end of each word. However, the IPA phonetic transcription reveals the difference in pronunciation between the two words. "More" is pronounced as /mɔːr/, with a long "o" sound and a rolled "r", while "prodded" is pronounced as /prɒdɪd/, with a short "o" sound and two distinct "d" sounds. Despite the similarity in ending consonant sounds, the distinct pronunciation of each word allows for accurate spelling.
