Of course this assumes the AE pronounces curry and blurry the same way BE does

All four of those words rhyme.

In British English, Furry and Blurry have pretty much the same vowel sounds as Early.

but Flurry is pronounced like Curry and Hurry.

Then, just when you thought you were getting it, there's the other Furry which does rhyme with Hurry. The Helston Furry -a dance.

Is all this getting anyone in a fury?

For the curious, Fury in British English rhymes with "FuckthisforagameofskittlesI'moffdownthepubforabevvy"

Perhaps respelling is the answer?
