Word: Cinnamon

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Cinnamon means a sweet, warm-smelling brown spice made from the dried bark of a tree, used in cooking.

How do you spell cinnamon?

Syllables: cin - na - mon

Tricky part: The doubled letter is the n, straight after the i, where the first two beats meet.
