vary, varies, various

Vary rhymes with scary hairy Mary.

Clicking on the words will take you to a dictionary where you can hear the words pronounced.
The "y" sounds like "tree"... 

...not "try"

Varies and various sound like vary but with a "s" and "ous".


Origin of the confusion:

Variety is pronounced differently.
