Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words share the spelling ending '-ness' and are pronounced with the same unstressed suffix /nəs/. The stressed vowel differs from 'darkness' (/ɑːr/), so they are not perfect rhymes, but they do partially rhyme. None of these words share the exact stressed vowel and following consonants of 'darkness', so there are no common perfect rhymes.
