Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words end in the spelling -sor and share a final /sər/ sound. Sensor and censor rhyme with each other (both /ˈsɛnsər/) and both contain -nsor like sponsor, but sponsor (/ˈspɑːnsər/ or /ˈspɒnsər/) does not rhyme with them because its stressed vowel differs. Professor, assessor, successor, and predecessor also share the final /sər/ but have stress on a different syllable, so they do not rhyme with sponsor either.
