Words that rhyme with Auxiliary
Auxiliary: four-syllable, a plain-speech anchor, vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, ending that opens out at the end. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. No strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, no family-rhyme matches turn up, while the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Type rhymes for auxiliary into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: the deeper map matters more than the headline count. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why auxiliary rhymes the way it does
In our engine, auxiliary registers as a four-syllable word on the high /ษช/ (/ษช/) that opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 52, assonance 9,018, and consonance 23. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Auxiliary rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
