How to Pronounce Enigmatic?
Hi! I heard someone say "enigmatic puzzle" in a documentary, and it sounded different from how I’ve been saying it. Now I’m second-guessing myself every time I try to use the phrase. Can you tell me the correct pronunciation?

Of course! The phrase "enigmatic puzzle" can indeed sound a bit tricky, but let’s break it down:

  1. Enigmatic: Pronounced as eh-nig-MAT-ik.
    • The stress is on the third syllable: "MAT."
    • It sounds like "eh-nig-MAT-ik."
  2. Puzzle: Pronounced as PUH-zul.
    • The stress is on the first syllable: "PUH."
    • It sounds like "PUH-zul."

When you put it together, it’s eh-nig-MAT-ik PUH-zul.

The pronunciation above is the standard way to say it. Keep practicing, and you’ll get more confident! 😊
