The spelling of the word "went law" can be confusing for some because of the sound of the letter "T". The correct phonetic transcription is /wɛnt lɔ/. The "T" in "went" is silent, and the "L" in "law" is pronounced with an open back unrounded vowel sound (ɔ). Therefore, the correct way to spell this word is "went law." It is important to pay attention to the sounds of each letter in a word to avoid misspelling it.
