Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes exactly with putrid /ˈpjuːtrɪd/. The -id words (acid, vivid, stupid) share only the unstressed final /ɪd/, not the stressed part, so they do not rhyme. Reputed /rɪˈpjuːtɪd/ is the closest lookalike: it has /ˈpjuːtɪd/ instead of /ˈpjuːtrɪd/ and different stress. Put /pʊt/ and putative /ˈpjuːtətɪv/ are spelling lookalikes only, with different vowel or ending.
