Pronunciation & Spelling
The words 'Hilton' and 'Wilton' rhyme with 'milton' because they share the same stressed vowel /ɪ/ and the following sounds /ltən/. Note that words like 'button' (/ˈbʌtən/), 'cotton' (/ˈkɒtən/), and 'mutton' (/ˈmʌtən/) are spelled with '-ton' but have different vowels, so they do not rhyme.
