Ways to tell them apart:

etymology
  • 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.
