Words that rhyme with Among
Among is an in-the-room-with-someone word: two-syllable, vowel sitting on the open /ษ/, ending that hums to a nasal close. The line containing it usually addresses a 'you'. Engine returns: perfect-rhyme territory is narrow, family-rhyme matches contribute a small near-perfect column, the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Lyric returns: a setting word. When the strict column thins, the family column is the most singable next step.

Why among rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for among starts at the vowel โ the open /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 82, additive and subtractive together 56, assonance 3,636, and consonance 434. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Among works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
