'expense' and 'suspense' fully rhyme with 'dispense' (same stressed vowel /ɛ/ and ending /ns/). 'recompense' has a different stress pattern but shares the '-pense' spelling. Be cautious of words like 'condense' (/kənˈdɛns/) and 'immense' (/ɪˈmɛns/) which look similar but have distinct consonant sounds.
