@ENKELI lol . I’m the same. I can usually pickup the pronunciation, after I reread the word about 3 times. If not then I Google it.
When my cognitive dissonance is really bad, I Google a lot. It’s reassuring.

@Adge oh that brings back memories!
We grew up just above the poverty line and mum couldn't afford a TV so she used to get the dictionary and find a word that my brother or I had to describe.
Antidisestablishmentarianism was one word I still remember and mum, my bro and I still throw it around.
Circumlocution is another favourite (the use of many words where fewer would do, especially in a deliberate attempt to be vague or evasive)
By the time mums' sister gave us a hand me down black & white TV we still used to set time aside once a week to play the dictionary game 😊

"Munted."
People here in WA use that word.
Though I haven't heard that word used elsewhere.
