Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words contain the spelling chunk -ight and end with the sound /aɪt/, so they rhyme with the '-sight' part of 'eyesight' (/ˈaɪˌsaɪt/): sight, insight, delight, tonight, slight, light. Beware the lookalikes 'weight' (/weɪt/) and 'freight' (/freɪt/), which also end in -ight but are pronounced with /eɪt/, not /aɪt/.
