发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No word here fully rhymes with /ˈtaɪfɔɪd/ because its primary stress is on the first syllable (/taɪ/). All listed words share the spelling -oid. Avoid and void rhyme with each other (both /vɔɪd/ with stressed /ɔɪd/), but their /ɔɪd/ is stressed, unlike the unstressed /fɔɪd/ in typhoid. Thyroid is a spelling lookalike, pronounced /ˈθaɪ.rɔɪd/.
