Did you ever see Webster’s recommendations on US spelling?

He would have probably spelled it “dool.”

No. I know he had his own ideas on spelling, some at least being adopted, but I've not seen a "list." I have a republished version of his original 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, and in that he spells "duel" duel.
