How do you say tousled?

As in tousled hair?

I thought I knew how to pronounce tousled, but my DP and friend say it differently.

Possible it's a regional thing I guess.

How do you pronounce it?

Tussle-d

Born midlands live in London. No idea if my pronunciation is right!

I say 'tussled'

I'm from the NW of England, if that helps

Tows elled

Tuss uld

Tow-sulled. But a friend says Toos-ald.

Tow seld

Ooh, interesting there's a split!

I'm from London, and I've always said it "tussled"

My friend says it "towsled". I'd never heard it said like that!

I should have asked, where are people from?

Is this a regional thing?

Tuss’ld. SE Wales

Two sulled.
