Pronunciation & Spelling
Words like 'decided', 'provided', and 'collided' have the same stressed vowel and following sounds as 'divided' (stress on second syllable), so they truly rhyme. 'Guided' and 'sided' have stress on the first syllable, so they look similar but sound different due to stress shift.
