Ways to tell them apart:
Die
is both the singular form of
dice
and refers to a single cube with numbers used in games.
Both
die
and
dice
are often used in board games and gambling contexts, but
dice
is the more frequently used term in general language.
Remember
dice
is plural and is used when more than one cube is involved.
If you are talking about one cube, use
die
to maintain grammatical correctness, though some informally use
dice
.
Die
can also mean
to cease living
, which is different from its use here, focusing on the context of games to avoid confusion.
