The word "WISS" is spelled with four phonemes in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA): /w/ /ɪ/ /s/ /s/. The first phoneme, /w/, is a voiced bilabial glide, followed by the short vowel sound represented by /ɪ/. The next two phonemes, /s/, are voiceless alveolar fricatives, creating the characteristic hissing sound. This four-letter word can be found in the dictionary but has no widely known meaning. As with many unfamiliar words, it can be useful to break them down into their component phonemes to help with pronunciation and understanding.
