All six words rhyme with 'symptomatic': they have the same stressed /ætɪk/ ending (spelled '-atic' or '-matic'). Beware of lookalikes with a different pronunciation, such as 'symptom' /ˈsɪmptəm/. Also note that 'symptomatic' and 'systematic' are easily confused in writing but both are pronounced with /ˈmætɪk/ at the end.
