“I built this because I prefer to write songs with looser rhymes, and most rhyming dictionaries aren't good at finding those types of rhymes. I hope you like it.”
How it works
Type any common English word. Wordgel looks at the vowel sounds at the end of the word and finds others that share the same final vowel — both exact rhymes and looser assonant near-rhymes. Results are sorted by how common each word is in English, so common words appear first and less obvious near-rhymes show up if you scroll.
The two controls
- Match syllables (1–3) — how many trailing syllables must rhyme. delight at 1 matches try; at 2 it matches freestyle; at 3 it matches satellite.
- Max syllables (1–5) — caps the length of result words, so you can hunt for short snappy rhymes or include longer ones.
