发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
In the pronunciation used here, ranker and anchor rhyme with rancor: all end in /-æŋkɚ/. Anger (/-æŋɡɚ/) looks similar but has a voiced /g/ instead of the /k/, so it does not rhyme. Honor, color, and error share the written suffix -or with rancor, but their stressed vowels differ, so they are not rhymes.
