How Do You Spell WIGGLING?

Pronunciation: [wˈɪɡlɪŋ] (IPA)

The word "wiggling" is spelled with two Gs, as opposed to one, due to the presence of the short vowel sound /ɪ/ in the second syllable. This is reflected in the IPA phonetic transcription of the word, which reads /ˈwɪɡlɪŋ/. The use of a double G serves to lengthen the pronunciation of the vowel sound and differentiate it from the sound of a single G. This spelling rule applies to other words with a short vowel sound followed by a consonant and then another vowel.
