Frequently asked questions
How many words with 1 syllable are there?
This dictionary holds 7,431 words with 1 syllable.
How do you count the syllables in a word?
Count the vowel sounds, not the letters: each syllable has exactly one. Silent letters and digraphs such as “ea” or “ou” usually make a single sound, which is why spelling and syllable count often disagree.
