aɪ + endings
Every ending the aɪ vowel takes, one row at a time. Say the vowel, let the ending close it, and check yourself against the words — all of them real, all verified by the engine.

Riding the vowel up
aɪ starts open on ah and closes toward ee, your jaw rising as the sound moves — hear it in side, time, and right. This table pairs that glide with endings from b to z, so drill a row and feel your jaw travel the same distance every time, whether the word ends in life or line. The n row — line, fine, sign — is a good place to start, since the nasal ending makes the glide easy to hear.
Endings, and how spelling hides them
English spells this one vowel at least three ways in this table: i_e in wide, a bare y in style, and the odd igh in right and night. Say right and side back to back and confirm the vowel is identical despite the spelling gap. Voiced endings like the v in live or the z in size stretch the glide out; voiceless ones like the k in like or the t in night cut it short.
