Pronunciation & Spelling
Lawful shares the exact pronunciation of the ending -ful with /fəl/ and same stressed vowel /ɔː/, so it rhymes. Dreadful, thoughtful, wonderful, and beautiful also end in -ful but have different stressed vowels or consonant clusters, so they do not rhyme with awful. Thoughtful has the same vowel /ɔː/ but includes an additional /t/ sound, making it a near rhyme only.
