Wouldn't it be cool to have a Boggle set made with the characters in the International Phonetic Alphabet?

ɸʉʙɐɹ!

d and I were just considering all of the vowel sounds that could go between n and t in English. There's a lot of them.

I just had too much fun with http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/ipa/ .

Yes, I should be asleep.

At least eleven words are pronounced nVt, where V is a vowel: gnat, net, knit, not, nut, newt, note, neat, night, Nate, naught.

Wow, that's a lot.

bVt also has a lot.

Ohh, that could be fun, esp seeing as vowels in my native dialect are a long way from US Standard.

Don't give them ideas. They might come up with Unicode Boggle.

That popup keyboard is rather limited.  Where are the rhotacized vowels?  I don't know about where you come from, but it is impossible to transcribe Bostonian English without rhotacized vowels.
