Pronunciation & Spelling
credit, discredit, and edit rhyme with accredit (final rime /edɪt/). accreditation, accrete, and credential are spelling-related lookalikes: accreditation stresses /teɪ/ and ends /ʃən/, accrete has a long /iː/ instead of /e/, and credential stresses /den/, so none rhyme with accredit.
