Rhyme Finder
Type a word to see every word that rhymes with it. Perfect rhymes share the same sound from the stressed vowel to the end, like time and climb; near rhymes share the vowels and end in similar consonants, like time and line.
What it does
These tools use the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary from Carnegie Mellon University, which gives the pronunciation of about 125,000 English words, with the stressed vowels marked. Rhymes come from words that are also in the ENABLE word list, without offensive words; rare words are shown in gray.
How to use it
- Type an English word, such as love, night or orange.
- Read the perfect rhymes first, then the near rhymes, grouped by number of syllables.
- Tick common words only to hide rare words, or tap a rhyme to search its rhymes.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between perfect and near rhymes?
A perfect rhyme repeats every sound from the last stressed vowel to the end: night, light and delight. A near rhyme, also called slant rhyme, keeps the vowel but changes the final consonant for a similar one: night and ride. Songwriters use near rhymes all the time.
Why does orange have no rhymes?
No common English word repeats its ending sound. Orange, silver, purple and month are the famous examples. Try the near rhymes, or a phrase that ends with a similar sound.
Why is a word that sounds the same missing?
Words with exactly the same pronunciation, such as night and knight, are homophones, not rhymes, so they are left out. Words with more than one pronunciation, such as read, rhyme with the words of each one.
