Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes with 'wintry' (/ˈwɪntri/). Among the lookalikes, entry and sentry rhyme with each other (/ˈɛntri/, /ˈsɛntri/), but wintry's stressed vowel /ɪ/ differs; country (/ˈkʌntri/), pantry (/ˈpæntri/), and poetry (/ˈpoʊətri/) also have different vowels, so none rhymes with wintry. Winter shares the initial 'wint' spelling and sound but not the final '-try'.
