发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words share the spelling ending '-ical', but none rhyme with 'physical' due to differences in stress placement or vowel quality. 'Physical' is stressed on the first syllable /ˈfɪzɪkəl/, while most listed words also have first-syllable stress except 'political' (second-syllable stress). Even among those with first-syllable stress, the vowels immediately following the stressed syllable differ (e.g., /z/ in 'physical' vs. /t/ in 'critical'), disqualifying exact rhyme.
