Question: 1 / 405

Which word in the phonetic alphabet corresponds to the letter X?

Sierra

X-ray

The word in the phonetic alphabet that corresponds to the letter X is X-ray. The phonetic alphabet, also known as the NATO phonetic alphabet, was developed to ensure clarity and reduce misunderstandings when communicating letters over radio or phone communications. Each letter of the English alphabet is paired with a distinct word to represent it, with X-ray being the designated term for the letter X. This helps prevent confusion, as X can be easily misheard or miscommunicated in noisy environments.
