Press record, say "accessed" once or twice at normal speed, then stop. You will see which syllables matched and what to change.

## Accessed syllables

Accessed has 2 syllables: AK-sehst.

1. AK æk
2. sehst sɛst

AK-sest, two syllables, stress on the first. The "cc" is "ks", and the -ed is a t — it rhymes with "guest". Stress on the second syllable, ak-SEST, is also heard and is fine.

The -ed ending is pronounced as a t, not as a separate syllable, because the sound before it is voiceless.
