Septic and peptic rhyme with sceptic, sharing the stressed /ɛ/ vowel and the ending /ptɪk/. Sceptre is a useful lookalike but is pronounced /ˈsɛptə(r)/, with no /k/ and a different ending, so do not confuse them. Words like attic, critic and static have the same spelling pattern -ic (pronounced /ɪk/), but their vowel sounds and stress differ, so they do not rhyme with sceptic.
