How Do You Spell ORTHOGRAPHICAL?

Pronunciation: [ˌɔːθəɡɹˈafɪkə͡l] (IPA)

Orthographical is a tricky word to spell, but it's pronounced /ɔːθəˈɡræfɪkl/. The first syllable is pronounced like the word "orthodox," and the 'o' sound in the second syllable is long. The 'th' in 'ortho-' is voiced like in the word "the," while in 'graphical' it's unvoiced like in "thin." The word 'graphical' ends in a long 'i' sound followed by 'cal.' Overall, the spelling is a combination of Greek and Latin roots, making it a challenge for even the most skilled spellers.
