For example. The same is true for letters. Any letter, or set of letters like OO, might have more than one pronunciation. The most common pronunciation for the letter OO is the sound [u].
The lips are a bit relaxed, and then the come into a tighter circle. I have a video that goes over the pronunciation of this sound, including some close ups of the mouth. Uh, uh. Notice the lips flare a bit for this sound. Let me show you what I mean. But in these words, the mouth closes more and the tongue pulls back a little bit more: door, o-o, do-o- door, aw, aw, law.
So the sound is more closed. What vowel sound do you hear there? Flood, blood, bloody. So, a fourth sound. In all of these words, O-O is pronounced differently.
