All six words rhyme with quail /kweɪl/: they share the final /eɪl/ sound. Words ending in -ail (hail, mail, nail, sail, tail) also share the spelling chunk; pale has the same sound but is spelled -ale. Beware lookalikes with qu-: quaint /kweɪnt/ has a similar start but ends /nt/, quality /ˈkwɒləti/ and quarter /ˈkwɔːrtər/ do not rhyme, and quay /kiː/ sounds completely different.
