Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes with ringed (/rɪŋd/): winged (/wɪŋd/) and stringed (/strɪŋd/) share the same stressed vowel and final /ŋd/ cluster. Beware the lookalikes singed (/sɪndʒd/), hinged (/hɪndʒd/), tinged (/tɪndʒd/), and fringed (/frɪndʒd/): their -g- is pronounced /dʒ/ before -e, so they do not rhyme with ringed.
