Pronunciation & Spelling
All share the spelling pattern -edly, but only mixedly truly rhymes with fixedly /ˈfɪksɪdli/ (same stressed /ɪ/ and following /ksɪdli/). Wickedly /ˈwɪkɪdli/ is a near rhyme because it lacks the /s/; markedly, allegedly, reportedly, and undoubtedly have different stressed vowels, so they are spelling lookalikes rather than rhymes.
