Re:Show HN: Twixt – transform one word into another in four ... by iamalizard on Monday May 25, 2026 @09:22AM (#48266538)
I saw a few YouTube videos about one vs won. Some pronounce them the same. Some say they pronounce them the same, but when they use an example sentence, "won" is clearly more o-ey, more closed, than "one". Some videos pronounce "won" with a definite "o"-ishness to it, like wOn, not wAn.

I can admit most people likely pronounce won as wAn and that I was wrong even though no one ever corrected my "won" having an o sound (or a mix of a and o).

Is "wanna" pronounced the same as "won a":

> I wanna do it

> I won a prize
