How Do You Spell PIECED?

Pronunciation: [pˈiːst] (IPA)

The word "pieced" is spelled with a "c", even though the "s" sound is heard. This is because of the silent "e" at the end of the word, which changes the pronunciation of the vowel before it. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is spelled /piːst/, with the long "e" sound represented by the symbol "iː". The "s" sound is represented by the symbol "s". Therefore, the correct spelling of the word is "pieced", not "pieces" which represents a plural noun.
