Do you pronounce it as Wed-nes-day?

I've never heard it as anything but Wends-day, but maybe everyone else is wrong.

That's the way I always heard it too and indeed it contains the consonant cluster "nd" (inverted from what's spelled)

No, that's my point. That words can be pronounced very differently from their spelling.
