Pronunciation & Spelling
These words rhyme with 'lure' (/lʊr/) in General American: sure, pure, cure, moor, poor, tour. Note that pure and cure have a /j/ glide before the vowel, but the rhyme is still /ʊr/. Beware lookalikes like 'blur' and 'fur' (spelled with -ur) — they are pronounced /blɜːr/ and /fɜːr/, so they do not rhyme. 'Poor' is sometimes pronounced /pɔːr/ in British English.
