Pronunciation & Spelling
No common modern English word rhymes with /ælt/. The -alt spellings in salt, malt, and halt are all /ɔːlt/ (or /ɒlt/), so they are lookalikes, not rhymes. Belt shares only the final /lt/ sound, with a different vowel. Alter and alternative use /ɔːl/, and altitude has the same initial /æl/ but with t beginning the next syllable.
