How Do You Spell PUFFS?

Pronunciation: [pˈʌfs] (IPA)

The word "puffs" is spelled with two F's, as opposed to "pufs" or "pufffs," because the sound it represents is a voiceless bilabial plosive (putting the lips together tightly and releasing a burst of air), which is signaled by the doubled F. The phonetic transcription for "puffs" is /pʌfs/, with the "u" sound like in "cup" and the "s" sound like in "bus." The word can refer to a light, fluffy pastry or the act of exhaling sharply.
