Answer:
Mishap is the misfit.
The other six words, and the three in the title, all contain the ‘sh’ sound – which is spelled in nine different ways!
Ironically, the word which does contain -sh- is not pronounced ‘sh’!
‘Schedule’ would count as another spelling of the same sound, depending on which side of the Atlantic you studied!
