Words that rhyme with Acquitted
There's a particular shape to acquitted: three-syllable, built on the centred /ษ/, ending that snaps shut on a stop. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. From the rhyme-data side: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. From the lyric side, it works as a common-tongue word. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why acquitted rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for acquitted starts at the vowel โ the centred /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 67, assonance 10,967, and consonance 248. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Acquitted is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
