Do all entries include an audio pronunciation?

0

No, only those entries that have pronunciations listed in the definition have audio pronunciations. Among those that do not are thesaurus entries, abbreviations, and open compounds, such as “bird dog” and “red herring,” the elements of which are pronounced at the “bird,” “dog,” “red,” and “herring” entries. Also excluded are many entry words that appear within other entries, such as “stillness” at the end of the “still” entry. Words that are spelled and pronounced the same but entered separately, such as “crane” the noun and “crane” the verb, are a special case: only the entry listed first in the results list has an audio pronunciation.
