Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words rhyme with spoke: they share the stressed vowel and following consonant /əʊk/, so the -oke words (broke, smoke, joke, woke, stroke) also share the spelling chunk -oke. Oak has the same sound but a different spelling chunk, so its part field is empty. Beware lookalikes with -ook, such as spook /spuːk/, which sound different.
