Words that rhyme with Appendix
For the rhyme search, what matters about appendix is this: three-syllable, vowel on the tight /ษช/, ending that tails through a fricative. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Engine returns: perfect rhymes are not on the table, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, the assonance well runs into four figures. Lyric returns: a household-word. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why appendix rhymes the way it does
Appendix is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, then it lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 88, assonance 13,765, and consonance 2. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With appendix, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
