Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'worth' shares the same stressed vowel /ɜːr/ with 'worthy', but the ending consonant differs (/θ/ vs /ði/), so they are not perfect rhymes. 'North', 'forth' have /ɔːr/ vowel. 'Thirty' and 'dirty' have /ɜːr/ vowel but end with /ti/. 'Birth' has /ɜːrθ/ but different spelling. None of these rhyme exactly with 'worthy'.
Usage priority
Collins 词频等级为 2，建议结合例句记忆，而不是只背中文释义。
