Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'proposer' truly rhymes with 'composer' because it shares the same stressed vowel /oʊ/ and following sounds /zər/ with stress on the second syllable. Words like 'poser' and 'closer' have the same vowel but different stress (first syllable), so they do not rhyme strictly. Others ('loser', 'user', 'chooser') use different vowels (/uː/) and first-syllable stress, so they are only spelling lookalikes.
