Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -eepy (creepy, weepy) rhyme exactly with sleepy (same stressed vowel and ending). Words ending in -eep (deep, keep, sweep, sleep) share the same vowel and final consonant but are one-syllable, so they are near rhymes. Be aware that words like 'steep' also follow this pattern but are not included here.
