Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes: meddle, medal, pedal (all /ˈmɛdəl/ or /ˈpɛdəl/; in many accents they are homophones of peddle). Middle shares the -ddle spelling but has a different vowel: /ˈmɪdəl/. Metal and petal are lookalikes with /t/ instead of /d/: /ˈmɛtəl/, /ˈpɛtəl/; in casual American English, metal may sound close to medal because of flapping, but they are not exact rhymes.
