Words that rhyme with Attacker
As a three-syllable word, attacker sits on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel and flows into the next line via a liquid. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. The headline counts: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. The lyric headline: it works as a low-register anchor. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why attacker rhymes the way it does
Attacker is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ vowel, then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 28 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 18, assonance 6,996, and consonance 985. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Attacker pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
