Pronunciation & Spelling
Groom, bloom and doom rhyme with the first syllable 'broom' (/bruːm/), sharing the /uːm/ sound; they are not full rhymes with 'broomstick' because of the extra unstressed /stɪk/. Lipstick, chopstick and matchstick share the spelling and unstressed ending /stɪk/ with 'broomstick', but their first-syllable vowels differ, so they are lookalikes that do not truly rhyme with it.
