Most all words have more than one sound. There are big sounds and small sounds though. The big parts - "word sounds" — that we don't want, the word "sounds" has just one. It needs no break. You might say that the word "school" has two but that word has just one as well.


Well said. And same with “schools” and then even more with “schooled”. But just for those who word it in a way that mind the rule.


Why not just "a word with no break" then, just like you described?
