Contentedly is stressed on the second syllable: /kənˈtɛntɪdli/. The words below all end in -edly and share the unstressed /ɪdli/ ending, but none rhymes with contentedly because they have different stressed vowels or different consonants after the stressed vowel. The closest is allegedly /əˈlɛdʒɪdli/, whose stressed vowel matches /ɛ/ but whose following consonant /dʒ/ does not match /nt/. Don't guess the sound from the -edly spelling.
