There's lots up for debate in this quiz, obviously, and I know I could add or subtract answers based on people's comments and still get a whole host of suggestions. As an alternative, I made a Top-40 Quiz based on the most guessed answers to this quiz over time.

Dictionaries show the pronunciation as one syllable (with a diphthong), but I suspect a lot of people say it with two separate vowels - I think I do.

wow so many people on this site seem to have extreme trouble knowing if words are one or two syllables, I am so surprised, I never knew it was an issue for anyone, cause it seems so obvious, but I have seen several ( quite big) discussions on this site now. Sometimes for the most simple words like house. ( I dont mean to offend anyone, I am just reallly surprised!)

Dont mean to be rude. But hard to say this without sounding rude, but it allmost seems that in some places people aren t taught (correctly) what a syllable actually is. It doesnt seem such a hard concept to me, quite evident when you see or hear the word, but apparently lots of people struggle with it. You can stretch any word as long as you want but that doesnt give it more syllables. Dog would be atleast two then dohhh -ghe (maybe the people that have trouble think that a new syllable starts when the position of your mouth/tongue changes??)

I'm pretty sure you can't split words into syllables where there are two vowels-

It is just how the vowels twist up the pronounciation of the words

I thought so too, but after some research it appears the use of Nare as singular is criticized because it is a back formation of the plural Nares (pronounced with two syllables). Naris would be the singular and that has two syllables.
