Pronunciation & Spelling
The vowel /ɔː/ appears in all six words. However, full rhyming with Cornwall is limited: corn, horn, and born rhyme with the first syllable (ending in /ɔːn/), and wall rhymes with the second syllable (ending in /ɔːl/). Warm (/wɔːm/) and cork (/kɔːk/) share the vowel but have different final consonants, so they do not fully rhyme.
