Pronunciation & Spelling
These words end with '-ency', but the stressed vowel differs from 'discrepancy' (which has stress on the second syllable /dɪskrɛpənsi/), so they do not rhyme. Discrepancy's stressed vowel is /ɛ/, while in tendency it is /ɛ/ on the first syllable, in frequency /iː/, in urgency /ɜː/, in agency /eɪ/, in currency /ɜː/, and in vacancy /eɪ/. Thus they are only spelling lookalikes.
