Pronunciation & Spelling
suggest, ingest, and congest share the exact /dʒɛst/ ending with digest /dɪˈdʒɛst/; quest, best, and test rhyme on /ɛst/. Warning: the noun digest /ˈdaɪdʒɛst/ has first-syllable stress and a different vowel, and lookalike digress /daɪˈɡrɛs/ ends in /rɛs/, so neither matches this verb pattern.
