Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words share the same ending '-sist' and are pronounced with the stressed vowel /ɪ/ and following /st/, making them perfect rhymes. Beware of words like 'list' (/lɪst/) which share the same vowel and /st/ but have a different preceding consonant; they also rhyme, but since they do not contain the '-sist' chunk, they are not included here.
