Pronunciation & Spelling
Only unworldly rhymes exactly with worldly (both end in /wɜː(r)ldli/). Coldly, boldly, mildly, and wildly share the -ldly spelling and the /ldli/ ending, but their vowel sounds differ, so they are lookalikes that do not rhyme. World shares the first syllable /wɜː(r)ld/ with worldly but lacks the -ly ending.
