These six words share the spelling ending -ular with tubular, but none rhymes with it. Tubular is pronounced /ˈtjuːbjulə/ with stress on the first syllable and /juː/ as the stressed vowel, followed by /bjulə/. Regular, popular, and singular also stress the first syllable, but their vowels are /ɛ/, /ɒ/, and /ɪ/ respectively. Particular, molecular, and spectacular have stress on a later syllable and contain /kjələ/ rather than /bjulə/. So they are useful spelling lookalikes, not sound matches.
