Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these is a perfect rhyme with 'diligently' (/ˈdɪlədʒəntli/). 'urgently' (/ˈɜːrdʒəntli/) and 'intelligently' (/ɪnˈtɛlədʒəntli/) share the final sequence /dʒəntli/, but their stressed vowels differ. 'gently' (/ˈdʒɛntli/) looks like the same ending but has no /ə/ and a different vowel. The '-ently' words (currently, recently, frequently) end in /əntli/ and are useful lookalikes that sound different.
