Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：furniture and cart wheels、narrative descriptions of heavy or slow movement trundle 作名词时指小轮或脚轮，多用于家具、推车等具体物件；作动词时表示沉重或缓慢地滚动、移动，比较常见于叙述或描写性文字。整体使用场景较具体，语气随文体变化。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Only bundle (/ˈbʌndəl/) truly rhymes with trundle (/ˈtrʌndl/). The other -dle words here (handle, candle, dwindle, swindle, kindle) look similar but have different vowel sounds, so they are spelling lookalikes, not rhymes. Words like puddle and muddle are also close-looking but lack the /n/ before /d/.
