Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words share the spelling ending -an (-tan for 'tan') and the final sound /æn/ with 'suntan' /ˈsʌntæn/. But 'suntan' has primary stress on 'sun' (/ˈsʌn-/), so they are not perfect rhymes with the entire word; they are spelling–sound matches. Beware lookalikes spelled with -tan that are pronounced with unstressed /ən/, e.g., 'mountain' /ˈmaʊntən/ and 'button' /ˈbʌtən/.
