发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the final spelling -ope and the /oʊp/ sound of tightrope's second syllable: rope, hope, scope, slope, cope, grope. Rope and grope also contain the exact spelling chunk rope. Be careful with lookalikes like ripe and type (/raɪp/, /taɪp/): they look close to rope but are pronounced with /aɪp/, not /oʊp/.
