How Do You Spell SCUFFER?

Pronunciation: [skˈʌfə] (IPA)

The word "scuffer", spelled /ˈskʌfər/, refers to a person or tool that is used to scrape or roughen the surface of something. The spelling of this word can be a little confusing due to the irregular "c" and "f" sounds. In phonetic terms, the "c" is pronounced as a "k" sound, while the double "f" creates an emphasis on the "uh" sound in the middle. So, to spell "scuffer" correctly, remember to use the "k" and double "f" while emphasizing the central vowel.
