Radio or telephone transmissions during WWI were often difficult to understand. Militaries started to assign words to letters to allow for more accurate understanding during communication (ex: A = Apple, B = Butter). What is the name of this WWI creation?

Answer Phonetic alphabet

The phonetic alphabet allowed soldiers to spell out coordinates or words in a way that could be better understood through garbled transmissions.
