To count syllables, break words into sounds. For example, "referee" has 3 syllables (ref - er - ee). "Universe" has 3 (u - ni - verse). "Maybe" has 2 (may - be). "Ecology" has 3 (e - col - ogy). "Been" has 1. "Communicate" has 4 (com - mu - ni - cate). "Rager" has 2. "Beautiful" has 3. "Unusual" has 3. "Cube" has 1. "Easily" has 3. "Only" has 2. "Fifteen" has 2. "Ready" has 2.
