How Do You Spell UTTEREST?

Pronunciation: [ˈʌtəɹəst] (IPA)

The word "utterest" is spelled with a double "t" in the middle, despite the fact that it is pronounced with just one "t." This can be explained through the use of IPA phonetic transcription, which shows that the word is pronounced /ˈʌtərəst/ without any emphasis on the second "t." The spelling likely comes from the word's origin in Old English, where the double "t" was used to represent a sound that has since changed in pronunciation. Despite its odd spelling, "utterest" remains a valid word in the English language.
