How Do You Spell RIDEN?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈa͡ɪdən] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Riden" may confuse some, as it does not follow common English spelling conventions. However, the word is actually a variant spelling of the past participle form of the verb "ride", pronounced as /ˈraɪdən/ (RY-duhn) in IPA phonetic transcription. The addition of the "-en" suffix to "ride" is a holdover from Middle and Old English grammar, which used this ending to form the past participle form of many verbs. Despite its unusual spelling, "Riden" is a legitimate word that can be used in written and spoken English.
