Context & Register

Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'scornful' (/ˈskɔrnfəl/) rhymes with 'mournful' (/ˈmɔrnfəl/). 'sorrowful' (/ˈsɑːroʊfəl/), 'dreadful' (/ˈdredfəl/), and 'awful' (/ˈɔːfəl/) share only the unstressed suffix '-ful' (/fəl/); they do not rhyme. 'mourning' and 'morning' (both /ˈmɔrnɪŋ/) are homophones and match the first syllable /mɔrn/ of 'mournful', but their ending /ɪŋ/ differs from /fəl/, so they are not rhymes.
