Pronunciation & Spelling
All words end in -ction /kʃən/. Words like 'instruction', 'production', 'reduction' share the same stressed vowel /ʌ/ and thus rhyme with 'construction'. 'Action', 'section', 'distraction' have different stressed vowels, so they are spelling lookalikes but not perfect rhymes.
