Spelling & Dictionary Insight

The French entry for racchetta is 9 letters long, classified as a noun, and transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet as \rak.ˈket.ta\. It sits outside the most-frequent rank tiers, which is often why uncommon words generate more spelling variants per reader.
