发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end in -ap and sound /æp/, matching the final syllable of wiretap /ˈwaɪətæp/. Because wiretap's main stress is on the first syllable, they are not perfect rhymes with the whole word. Be careful not to confuse -tap with tape /teɪp/; the vowel in wiretap's last syllable is /æ/, not /eɪ/.
