Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words rhyme with dry (/draɪ/): they share the same stressed vowel and following consonant /aɪ/. The same sound can be spelled y (fly, try, cry, sky), ie (lie), or igh (high). Watch out for lookalikes: dry does not rhyme with day (/deɪ/), and not every final y sounds like this—only (/ˈoʊnli/) and pretty (/ˈprɪti/) end with /i/, not /aɪ/.
