Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words rhyme with the stressed syllable of 'concealed' /kənˈsild/: field, shield, yield, sealed, healed, and reeled end in /-ild/. 'sealed' and 'healed' share the spelling chunk 'ealed' with 'concealed'. Beware lookalikes: 'conceal' /kənˈsil/ lacks the final /d/, and 'canceled' /ˈkænsəld/ or 'conceded' /kənˈsidɪd/ look similar but do not rhyme.
