Gramle in 1 day! I pretty much read this one off, and then went "hey, that's a word, let's try it!" and it was. Answer: fields. I thought the initial fricative was probably too loud for theta, and the little gap before the final /z/ was probably enough for a voiced stop. Huge drop in F2 but not much change in F3 looks like /il/. #linguistics #phonetics #gramle Gramle 933 1/5

Wow, that was a tricky one! Two of the same vowel in a row, both unstressed. No wonder that low-F3 portion at the end went on for so long, relatively stably. Answer: murderer. Gramle 917 4/5

Wow, my initial reading of this spectrogram was "colt" (which is only 4 segments though), and it turned out to be "tulip." I wouldn't think it would be possible to be quite that far off. The initial aspiration noise and CV transition really, really looked like a velar pinch, and the VOT was long and loud enough for a /k/. I did think it was possible that the /l/ was medial with a schwa after it, but it's not obvious at all that there's a second syllable. #Linguistics #Gramle #Phonetics Gramle 899 2/5

Wow, this one is ambiguous! After solving it and listening, I can hear it either as the intended anser 'triad' or as 'trad.' In fact, I hear it more as 'trad.' This fits with this speaker's typical monothongization of /ai/. Took me a long time to be sure that was two vowels in a row in the middle and to figure out which two. #Linguistics #Gramle #phonetics Gramle 893 4/5

Whoo, Gramle in 1 guess today! I was only seeing 4 segments, but decided the final bit could be a stop plus a non-sibilant fricative. Sure enough, the /d/ wasn't really audible in the recording, sort of consonant cluster simplification. Answer: breadth. Gramle 885 1/5
