How the matching works
Words rhyme by sound, not spelling: love and move look alike and do not rhyme; great and eight do. The finder compares how words are said in American English, from the last stressed vowel to the end.
A rhyme matches all of it: day and okay, five and thrive. A close rhyme lands on a lighter beat at the end of a longer word: day and holiday, eight and celebrate, mood and gratitude. In a song or a card, close rhymes work; in a strict poem, use the full ones.
The sounds come from the Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary (read 20 October 2026). 3,185 of our 4,654 words are in it. The rest, mostly joined words like award-winning, are left out rather than guessed from their spelling. Its licence is on our word data page.
