what's gramle?
a game like wordle, but with sounds instead. you are given a waveform and a spectrogram of a particular instance of someone producing an english word in an american english accent. you need to guess the word by figuring out which 5 sound segments (phonemes) it is made of
unlike in wordle, you don't have to guess real words
your guess is written in the international phonetic alphabet in (roughly) phonemic (as opposed to phonetic) transcription. (i say roughly because the alveolar tap and a few other allophones are specified)
the speaker for all gramles is the same and is an american man
gramle gets its words from this dataset
here's a partial guide on identifying sounds in spectrograms
and another
gramle's own transcription guide
