Pronunciation & Spelling
All words end in -ent. 'Confident', 'evident', and 'accident' share a similar /-dənt/ ending, but not an exact rhyme with competent (/ˈkɑːmpɪtənt/) due to voiced consonant and different stress. 'Patient' and 'present' are lookalikes with different final consonants: /-ʃənt/ and /-zənt/.
