Rhyming dictionary for writers
Find the rhyme for your next line
Perfect, near, and slant rhymes for any word — matched by sound, sorted by syllable count, and ranked so the words that fit rise to the top.
Rhymes.us.com is a rhyming dictionary built for the people who actually need one mid-verse — songwriters, rappers, poets, and anyone chasing the next line. Every match comes from how words sound out loud, so you get real, usable rhymes instead of a spelling-based list. Perfect rhymes land first; then the slant rhymes that modern lyrics live on, ranked by how close they hit.
Perfect rhymes, then slant rhymes
Perfect rhymes
Every sound matches from the last stressed vowel on — “flow” and “know,” “nation” and “vibration.” We group these by syllable count so you can match the pocket of your line.
Slant & near rhymes
Close but not identical — “mind” / “time,” “blood” / “love.” This is where rap and modern pop do most of their work. We rank them by how closely they match so the best ones are first, not buried.

The (almost) unrhymable words
Some words have no perfect rhyme in English — but they all have slant rhymes that get you close. Take on the ones that trip everyone up:
Writing to a beat
- 01 — Search a single word (the end word of the line you're rhyming into).
- 02 — Scan perfect rhymes, grouped by syllable count, common words first.
- 03 — Out of perfect matches? Drop into the slant rhymes — that's where the fresh lines are.
- 04 — Matching a meter? Count any line with the syllable counter.
Frequently asked questions
How does the rhyme finder work?
Type a word and we look up how it's actually pronounced in a 90,000-word pronouncing dictionary, then match the sounds — not the spelling. That's why we can tell you that “love” rhymes with “above” but not with “move.” You get perfect rhymes first, then slant rhymes ranked by how close they sound.
What's a slant rhyme, and why do rappers use them?
A slant rhyme (or near rhyme) shares most of a word's ending sound without matching it exactly — “mind” and “time,” “love” and “enough.” Modern rap and pop lean on slant rhymes far more than perfect ones because they open up thousands of extra options and let you chain longer, more surprising lines. We rank slant rhymes by closeness so the most usable ones are up top.
Can I find multi-syllable rhymes for full phrases?
Yes — search a longer word like “tomorrow” or “forever” and you'll get multi-syllable matches grouped by syllable count, so you can line them up to your flow. For the technique behind stacking these, see our guide to multisyllabic (multi) rhymes.
Which words are impossible to rhyme?
A few common words have no perfect rhyme at all — orange, silver, purple, month, wolf. They're not dead ends, though: each has slant rhymes that get you close. Orange famously pairs with “sponge,” “lozenge,” and “door hinge.”
