Best Answer

The word "couldn't" is 1 syllable.

This word is tricky. It has two vowel sounds, however only 1 of those sounds (ou) corresponds to the written vowels "ou". The sound made in "n't" does not have a vowel associated with it, therefore it is not a syllable.

Other sources define syllables as having vowel sounds, not necessarily vowels and hyphenate couldn't into two syllables: could-n't
