The word "schizaxon" may seem intimidating to spell at first glance, but with the help of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), it becomes much simpler. This word is pronounced /ˈskɪts.ə.zɑːn/ which breaks down into three syllables: skits-uh-zahn. The first syllable "skits" rhymes with the word fits, the second syllable "uh" sounds like the short u in cut, and the final syllable "zahn" rhymes with the word John. By breaking the word down into its phonetic components, it becomes easier to both pronounce and spell.
