Pronunciation & Spelling
Census and consensus share the spelling ending 'sus' but are not rhymes because their stressed vowels differ (/ˈsensəs/ vs /ˈvəːsəs/). Universe and reverse share the 'vers' spelling pattern and have a similar stressed vowel /vɜːs/, but versus has an additional syllable (/səs/), so they are not perfect rhymes.
