发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words end with the same /aʊt/ sound in their final syllable as the '-out' of cookout (/ˈkʊˌkaʊt/). The '-out' spelling is transparent in each. Beware lookalikes: 'cook' sounds like /kʊk/, not /kuːk/, and 'route' is often /ruːt/ in American English, so judge by sound rather than spelling.
