How to use the rhyming dictionary

Type in any word and the dictionary immediately lists the perfect rhymes for that word (words with the identical ending) and the near rhymes for that word (words with similar but not identical sound). The perfect and near rhymes are grouped into 1-syllable, 2-syllable, and 3+ syllable categories so you can immediately find the perfect word for your needs.

Also filter results by part of speech (such as nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs) and click on any word in your results to search for its own rhymes. Use the "Random Word" button to discover new words.

Tips for better rhymes

  • Match syllable count to keep your rhythm consistent.
  • 2-syllable rhymes are generally more natural as verse than single-syllable rhymes.
  • Near rhymes are limited only by your imagination and are becoming increasingly used in modern rap and poetry.
  • Use "Copy all rhymes" to paste a full list into your lyrics or poem draft.

Frequently asked questions

What is a rhyming dictionary?

A rhyming dictionary is an alphabetized list of words that have the same ending sound as another word. Unlike a standard dictionary, which defines words, a rhyming dictionary is organized by sound and thus is useful for people who write poetry, including poets, songwriters, and rappers.

How many words are in this rhyming dictionary?

We have a curated set of over a thousand words in a rhyming dictionary that instantly loads as you type, and then a live lookup that adds the full set of words, including all the near rhymes, in a second or two.

What's the difference between a perfect rhyme and a near rhyme?

There are many different kinds of rhymes, including perfect rhymes, near rhymes (also referred to as slant rhymes or half rhymes), consonance rhymes, Blind Rhymes, alliterative rhymes, and more. Here, we refer to two main types: perfect rhymes and near rhymes. Perfect rhymes include words with the same vowel sound and the same ending consonant sound (e.g., cat/hat and light/night). Near rhymes, on the other hand, include words with similar but not identical sounds (e.g., cat/bad and light/like).

Why does syllable count matter when choosing a rhyme?

Whether you are trying to craft a poem in a structured form (such as a sonnet or haiku), or simply trying to make your free verse or song lyrics read better, the syllable count of words is crucial to making lines that sound natural and balanced.

Can I use this for rap lyrics?

The Syllable Filter can be used to find words with 2- and 3-syllable words for more complex and richer rhymes. Every result word can then be clicked on to immediately search for its own rhyme set, a technique that many professional lyric writers use to maintain complex rhyme schemes over long sections of text.
