"Beautiful" is a common but tricky word to spell because of its unusual vowel combination. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! πŸš€πŸ˜Š

πŸ”€ Correct Spelling

βœ… B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

πŸ“Œ Sounds like: "BYOO-tuh-ful" (/ˈbjuː.tΙͺ.fΙ™l/)

πŸ“ How to Remember the Spelling

1️⃣ Break it into parts:
BEAU + TI + FUL = BEAUTIFUL

2️⃣ Use a mnemonic (memory trick):

"B-E-A-U" + "T-I" + "F-U-L"
