发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the spelling chunk -int. With the exception of pint, they rhyme with stint (/stɪnt/), because their stressed vowel is /ɪ/ and it is followed by /nt/: mint, flint, hint, tint, print. Pint is a lookalike: it is spelled with -int but pronounced /paɪnt/, so it does not rhyme.
