Pronunciation & Spelling
Only naughtily rhymes exactly with haughtily, since both end in /ˈɔːtɪli/ after the initial consonant. Haughty and haughtiness share the /hɔːt/ opening but not the full ending. Naughty has the same /ɔːt/ sound but ends in /ti/, not /tɪli/. Loftily and tautly are spelling lookalikes that do not rhyme: loftily adds an /f/ before /tɪli/, and tautly has /ˈtɔːtli/ with no /ɪ/ after the /t/.
