The word "snar" may seem misleading in terms of spelling. It is pronounced as /snɑːr/ with a clear "a" sound. The word is commonly used to describe a growl, a scowl or a tangle of hair. The word has no silent letters and only four letters, yet it manages to pack a punch in terms of its meaning. It is an example of how English language can still surprise us with its variations in spelling and pronunciation.
