Pronunciation & Spelling
tawdry is the genuine rhyme: the stressed vowel and the ending /dri/ match audrey. audience shares the spelling 'aud' and the starting sound /ˈɔd.../, but it has no /r/ before the final vowel, so it does not rhyme. laundry has the same final /dri/ but adds an /n/, so it is close but not exact. money matches the final spelling -ey pronounced /i/, but the rest of the word is different. Andrew is a useful lookalike: it looks similar but is pronounced /ˈændru/, not /ˈɔdri/.
