All six share the -ise ending in spelling, but none is a true rhyme with capitalise. Capitalise has primary stress on its first syllable /ˈkæpɪtəlaɪz/, so the final /-laɪz/ is unstressed; true rhyme requires the same stressed vowel and following sounds. Watch the lookalikes: realise (/ˈrɪəlaɪz/), organise (/ˈɔːɡənaɪz/), recognise (/ˈrekəɡnaɪz/), advertise (/ˈædvətaɪz/), exercise (/ˈeksəsaɪz/), and compromise (/ˈkɒmprəmaɪz/) each differ in stressed vowel or ending.
