  • RelatedたぶらかすWrittenWritten/formal prose: beguiling someone with honeyed words, with a hint of bewitching; 「丸め込む」 stresses winning them over, not clouding their mind.

  • RelatedなだめすかすCasualColloquial: coaxing and soothing — calming someone's anger or displeasure first, then getting them to comply; 「丸め込む」 doesn't presuppose this.

Use 「丸め込む」 for sweet-talking someone into doing as you want, as in 「上司を丸め込む」. For plain deception say 「騙す」, for flattery 「おだてる」, for egging someone into wrongdoing 「唆す」. Others overlap only in part: 「宥めすかす」 adds soothing, 「口説く」 is earnest persuasion or wooing, 「誤魔化す」 is covering up, and 「誘惑」 is a noun for temptation.
