Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words share the spelling chunk '-ight' and the sound /aɪt/. This matches the final syllable of 'upright' (/raɪt/), but because 'upright' has primary stress on 'up', they are not true rhymes with the whole word. Also beware that '-eigh' words such as 'eight' are pronounced /eɪt/, not /aɪt/.
