How Do You Spell RIVALLED?

Pronunciation: [ɹˈa͡ɪvə͡ld] (IPA)

The word "rivalled" is spelled with two L's, which may seem odd since the base word "rival" only has one L. However, the extra L is added in order to preserve the stress pattern of the word. In IPA phonetic transcription, "rival" is pronounced /ˈraɪ.vəl/, with stress on the first syllable. By adding an extra L, "rivalled" becomes /ˈraɪ.vəld/, with stress still on the first syllable. This preserves the original stress pattern of the base word, even with the addition of the suffix "-ed."
