Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes (stressed /ɪlə/): gorilla, vanilla, villa, and chinchilla all end with the same stressed vowel and following sounds as 'guerilla' (/ɡəˈrɪlə/). Spelling lookalikes that do NOT rhyme: tortilla (often /tɔːrˈtiːə/, with a long /iː/) and armadillo (/ˌɑːrməˈdɪloʊ/, with /oʊ/). Also note that 'guerilla' is a common variant spelling of 'guerrilla'; both are pronounced /ɡəˈrɪlə/.
