Pronunciation & Spelling
All words share the '-ically' ending, but only the first three (magically, tragically, practically) have first-syllable stress and a similar vowel sound to frantically (/æ/), though they do not perfect rhyme due to differing consonants after the stressed vowel. Specifically, historically, and artistically have stress on later syllables and different vowels, so they are lookalikes rather than true rhymes.
